The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

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 …

For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

In recent years there has been an accumulation of evidence for the existence of
nanobubbles on hydrophobic surfaces in water, despite predictions that such small bubbles …

Interactions between hydrophobic surfaces at nanometer separation distances in aqueous
solutions are important in a number of biological and industrial processes. Force …

A very thin layer (5− 80 nm) of gas phase, consisting of discrete bubbles with only about 40
000 molecules, is quite stable at the interface between a hydrophobic solid and water. We …

Atomic Force Microscope images and other experiments show us that very small stable
bubbles, known as nanobubbles, can be present on surfaces despite well founded …

Surface and bulk nanobubbles are two types of nanoscopic gaseous domain that have
recently been discovered in interfacial physics. Both are expected to be unstable to …

We show that a very thin (5–80 nm) gas phase can exist for a long time (<? format?>><?
format?> 1 h) at the interface between a hydrophobic solid and water. We create the gas …

Electrogenerated microscale bubbles that are confined at the electrode surface have
already been extensively studied because of their significant influence on electrochemistry …
