Assuming that the electroweak and QCD phase transitions are first order, upon supercooling, bubbles of the new phase appear. These bubbles grow to macroscopic sizes compared to the natural scales associated with the Compton wavelengths of…
Bubbles are point-like regular solutions of the higher-dimensional Kaluza-Klein equations that appear as naked singularities in four dimensions. We analyze all such possible solutions in 5D Kaluza-Klein theory that are static and…

Aqueous foams coarsen with time due to gas diffusion through the liquid. The mean bubble size grows, and small bubbles vanish. However, coarsening is little understood for foams with an intermediate liquid content, particularly in the…

The expansion of a 1D Bose gas is investigated employing the Lieb-Liniger equation of state within the local density approximation. We show that during the expansion the density profile of the gas does not follow a self-similar solution, as…

The spontaneous formation of tiny bubbles in a liquid is at the root of the nucleation mechanism during the liquid-to-vapor transition of a metastable liquid. The smaller the bubbles the larger their probability to appear, and even for…
