That's our four-year-old, who goes by the nom du Net "The Pip," enclosing himself in a soap bubble at MiSci ... but I don't care enough to figure it out), but it's easy to see that the total ...

Zoom in on a soap bubble ... finally the bubble pops. When the film becomes even thinner than the shortest wavelength of visible light, dark spots appear, due to destructive interference that ...

When these waves combine to make a higher-amplitude pulse, we call this constructive interference ... happens when light hits the surface of a soap bubble. Some of the light goes into the thin ...

Those realistic depictions of bubble dynamics have now inspired two physicists at the Université Grenoble Alpes in France, who conducted their own soap-bubble experiments, to learn more about the ...

Instead of a two-surfaced film of soapy solution in air, these have a two-surfaced film of air in soapy solution. Moreover, like the ordinary soap bubble, they show interference colours.

The unassuming soap bubble is one of the most important ... means we end up with better products when we figure out how to create better bubbles. When a wavelength of light strikes a bubble ...

Physicists have long studied soap bubbles for their extraordinary geometric properties as minimal surfaces, for the way they oscillate and for the beautiful interference patterns that appear on their ...

Everybody loves bubbles ... to interference patterns created when light reflects off the two surfaces of the film. For Burton, this was also an indication that the thickness of the soap was ...

It took a YouTube video, a walk-in freezer kept at negative 20 degrees Celsius, and some very cold-tolerant engineering students for researchers to finally figure out why freezing soap bubbles ...

Soap does not strengthen bubbles, it stabilizes them, via an action known as the Marangoni effect. As the soap film stretches, the surface concentration of soap decreases, which causes the surface ...
