Air bubbles rising from a scuba diver in water A soap bubble floating in the air. A bubble is a globule of a gas substance in a liquid. In the opposite case, a globule of a liquid in a gas, is called a drop. [1] Due to the Marangoni effect, bubbles may remain intact when they reach the surface of the immersive substance.
A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid (most often liquid hydrogen) used to detect electrically charged particles moving through it. It was invented in 1952 by Donald A. Glaser , [ 1 ] for which he was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics . [ 2 ]
Quantum foam (or spacetime foam, or spacetime bubble) is a theoretical quantum fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The theory predicts that at this small scale, particles of matter and antimatter are constantly created and destroyed.
A prototype, the 10 cm Bubble Chamber, was first built in 1957; it was seen as a learning process, allowing the team to test and study the functionality of bubble chambers. [2] Furthermore, the chamber was easily modifiable and had no magnetic field. Experience acquired during the prototype phase enabled the team to build the 30 cm bubble chamber.

A nanobubble is a small sub-micrometer gas-containing cavity, or bubble, in aqueous solutions with unique properties caused by high internal pressure, small size and surface charge.
Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a small gas bubble is acoustically suspended and periodically driven in a liquid solution at ultrasonic frequencies, resulting in bubble collapse, cavitation, and light emission. The thermal energy that is released from the bubble collapse is so great that it can cause weak light emission. [1]
Installation of the Gargamelle chamber body. Placement of the chamber in the oblong shaped magnet coils. The domain of neutrino physics was in rapid expansion in the 60's. . Neutrino experiments using bubble chambers were already running at the first synchrotron at CERN, the PS, and the question of the next generation of bubble chambers had been on the agenda for some ti
