A team of scientists from China and the U.S. is pioneering the development of bubble-powered robots, which could one day replace needles for painless drug delivery into the body. Inspired by nature, ...

A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapor bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports ...

The National Physical Laboratory Acoustics team has been investigating acoustic cavitation – the formation and implosion of micro cavities, or bubbles, in a liquid caused by the extreme pressure ...

Hydrodynamic cavitation is a phenomenon in which rapid pressure variations in a liquid induce the formation, growth and subsequent collapse of microbubbles. This process generates localised high ...

Bubbles created by pressurized water can directed at surfaces and trigger cavitation, the continued creation and collapse of bubbles. The addition of an ultrasonic transducer helps reinforce this ...
