The depressurization of the surrounding chamber or superheating of the injected liquid is responsible for the flashing of the sprays, which promotes micro-explosion of many bubbles near free-surface and thereby leading to primary…
Bubbles under vibration can behave in unusual ways, e.g., moving downward against the force of buoyancy. While the bubble downward motion due to the Bjerknes force is well known at acoustic frequencies close to the bubble resonant…
Sympathetic cooling with ultracold atoms and atomic ions enables ultralow temperatures in systems where direct laser or evaporative cooling is not possible. It has so far been limited to the cooling of other microscopic particles, with…
In this study a single laser pulse spatially shaped into a ring is focused into a thin water layer, creating an annular cavitation bubble and cylindrical shock waves: an outer shock that diverges away from the excitation laser ring and an…

When a drop impacts at very low velocity onto a pool surface it is cushioned by a thin layer of air, which can be stretched into a hemispheric shape. We use ultra-high-speed video imaging to show how this thin air-layer ruptures. The number…
