How Bringing Structure to Chaotic Bubbles Could Make Industry More Sustainable

: Many renewable energy technologies involve fluid and gas interactions. Improved bubble control can optimize the efficiency of these chemical reactions, leading to better yields with less waste. How bringing structure to chaotic bubbles could...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have discovered a method to transform the normally disorganized movement of bubbles into a structured, controllable flow. By applying specific vibrations to particles as air is blown through them, the researchers found that bubbles spontaneously organize themselves into regular, triangular arrays.
