Enter the Daughter Bubbles

Posted by on Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 5:09 PM

BBC:

...[S]cientists have discovered that there is far more to bursting bubbles than meets the eye.

Under the right conditions, a bursting bubble on a liquid surface does not simply vanish, but creates a perfect ring of tiny "daughter bubbles".

This occurs as the ruptured bubble retracts into the liquid, forming a doughnut shape of trapped air.

Life can be wonderful.
