The global liquid soap market is about to get squeaky clean, thanks to a projected surge in demand that's set to leave bar soaps in the dust. Driven by hygiene awareness, sustainability trends ...

Blowing soap bubbles never fails to delight one's inner child, perhaps because bubbles are intrinsically ephemeral, bursting after just a few minutes. Now, French physicists have succeeded in ...

The freeze front creates an unusual liquid flow on the surface of the soap bubbles, new research suggests. By Knvul Sheikh You may have seen the viral videos of photographers freezing soap bubbles ...

Freezing soap bubbles look like snow globes. ... As this freeze front expands, it releases latent heat into the adjacent liquid surface of the bubble.

Soap bubbles can help to solve complex mathematical problems of space, ... a bubble made with a pure liquid alone is not stable and a dissolved surfactant such as soap is needed to stabilize a bubble.

In 1672, Robert Hooke observed that bubbles blown through a glass tube are clear white, but as the soap film thins, "all the colors of the rainbow" appear on the surface.

Soap bubbles in the air seem delicate beyond belief, ... The area of a circle is πr², so the volume of bubble liquid on our starter wand is 0.5 ...

After surmising that one of a soap bubble’s main limitations is its source liquid, ... the record for net-created soap bubble is 28.635-square-meters, or roughly 308-square-feet.

From St Paul’s Cathedral to the surface of a soap bubble. Forming a resonator out of a sphere is not, in itself, new. Micro-cavities formed ... A more practical solution the researchers pursued is to ...

If all else fails in efforts to save them, pollinating flowers with soap bubbles could work, a new study finds. ... thus increasing the liquid’s spreading and wetting properties.

Bubbles follow that rule, at first, but quickly deviate from the pattern, the authors of the 2019 paper found. In a freezing environment, a single point on the bubble begins to freeze first, as ...
