Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can
survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise …

Nanobubbles are tiny in size but huge in importance for many scientific fields and
applications in biology, agriculture, medicine, environment and engineering. Literature on …

Acoustic cavitation is the formation and subsequent violent collapse of bubbles in liquid
irradiated with intense ultrasound. Ultrasound is radiated by a vibrating plate connected to …

There are two main mysteries in bulk nanobubbles which are cavitation nuclei. One is the
mechanism of stability of a bulk nanobubble. The other is the problem whether OH radicals …

Traditional froth flotation is the primary method for the separation and upgrading of fine
mineral particles. However, it is still difficult for micro-fine and low-quality minerals to …

During the past years, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has matured to an indispensable tool
to characterize nanomaterials in colloid and interface science. For imaging, a sharp probe …

Formation, evolution and vanishing of bubbles are common phenomena in nature, which
can be easily observed in boiling or falling water, carbonated drinks, gas-forming …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely used in materials science and chemistry
research since it was invented in the 1980s. It is a relatively new tool for geosciences and is …

The dynamic equilibrium model for a bulk nanobubble partly covered with hydrophobic
material in water is theoretically and numerically studied. The gas diffusion into a bubble …

As nanobubbles are of far-reaching application in interface science, mining science, medical
treatment, sewage treatment and other fields, researchers have carried out considerable …
