Bubbles are like a "water and soap sandwich," with soap encasing a layer of water. In warmer weather, the air inside the bubble expands as it warms, popping the bubble before it gets far.

Today I learned how to blow bubbles under the water. Not just any old ordinary underwater bubble-blowing, mind you, but very precise underwater bubble-blowing. It may not seem like the most ...

Blow the Best Bubbles. A soapy chemistry challenge from Science Buddies. ... If you try to make bubbles using normal water, you will quickly see that it doesn't work very well.

The surface tension of water is so strong in fact, that it prevents us from blowing bubbles from just water. Adding soap or detergent lowers the water’s surface tension, allowing bubbles to form.

Blowing soap bubbles has amused children (and adults) for centuries. Recently people have begun blowing soap bubbles in sub-freezing weather. Just this last November, the physics of water crystal ...

As a physics problem, blowing bubbles is a question of how a liquid film -- typically soapy water -- interacts with an imposed flow of an external fluid, which is air in the case of bubble blowing.

Even blowing bubbles in water is cooler in space. NASA astronaut Jack Fischer showed off a cool experiment aboard the International Space Station where he blew a large water bubble that covered ...

Now, French physicists have succeeded in creating "everlasting bubbles" out of plastic particles, glycerol, and water, according to a new paper published in the journal Physical Review Fluids.
