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 …

A gas in between micro-or nanostructures on a submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo)
surface allows the liquid on the structures to flow with an effective slip. If large enough, this …

We follow the history of nanobubbles from the earliest experiments pointing to their
existence to recent years. We cover the effect of Laplace pressure on the thermodynamic …

Bulk nanobubbles (BNBs) are submicron gaseous domains dispersed in solutions, which
are supposed to survive for several hours or even days. In recent years, there has been a …

Bubble-particle interaction is of great theoretical and practical importance in flotation.
Significant progress has been achieved over the past years and the process of bubble …

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant exhibit
excellent performances and are known for their extremely low contact angle hysteresis (< 5°) …

To understand the unexpected and puzzling long-term stability of nanoscale gas bubbles, it
is crucial to probe their nature and intrinsic properties. We report herein synchrotron-based …

Background The importance of nanobubbles (NBs) is widely acknowledged, along with their
size and stability. NBs are tiny gas-filled cavities having unique physical characteristics …

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 …

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 …
