Brain bubbles: Researchers describe the dynamics of cavitation in soft porous material
A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapor bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports. Can you imagine the ...
