Researchers have discovered a so far unknown formation mechanism of cavitation bubbles by means of a model calculation. In a new article, they describe how oil-repellent and oil-attracting surfaces ...

Researchers from Skoltech, ITMO University, and their colleagues have reported new findings about the behavior of ...

Researchers are investigating the potential of a painless, needle-free vaccine delivery by ultrasound. The method uses cavitation, which is the formation and popping of bubbles in response to a sound ...

Bubbles can be microbe killers. Scientists have long known that ultrasound in liquids causes gas bubbles to form and then often collapse violently. When those bubbles implode in cleaning solutions, ...

Removing dental plaque and calculus, that is the build-up of tartar or hard plaque, is a big part of maintaining oral health. Cavitation or bubble formation occurs around dental ultrasonic scalers, ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich and IBM Research, in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), have set a new record in supercomputing in ...
