Unfortunately, blowing a 100 m3 bubble is a poor use of lab space, and quite difficult to measure accurately, so the soap films were created using a cotton string, and the thickness was measured ...

Everybody loves bubbles, regardless of age—the bigger the better. But to blow really big, world-record-scale bubbles requires a very precise bubble mixture. Physicists have determined that a key ...

Looking to find out how soapy films fifty times thinner than a human hair can form bubbles stretching more than 10 feet long, physicists from the US tried different mixes in the lab.

From blowing frozen bubbles to throwing boiling water to tossing cracked eggs. ... Bubbles are like a "water and soap sandwich," with soap encasing a layer of water.

Researchers have decoded the science behind the popular childhood activity of blowing soap bubbles — a finding that may help improve products like sprays and foams. In a series of experiments ...
