Grooving Bubbles

Featured Video Play Icon

Here bubbles in a microchannel are subjected to an external ultrasonic acoustic field. Under the influence of this vibration, the bubbles self-organize into crystal-like structures with a fixed finite separation distance. Some bubbles cluster and contact.  Some bubbles also pulsate in star-shaped vibration modes. When the external sound is turned off, the bubble crystal loses form and drifts apart.
