    It's inspiring to watch scientists expand our understanding of the world around us with something as "simple" as studying bubbles.

    Dr Helen Czerski, Thank you for your informative program, I would like to add that I noticed a bug feeding itself under water and in order to breath, it carried a bubble of air under itself all the way to the bottom of the pond.

    This documentary shows how one small simple instrument of nature (bubble) have so huge impact on everyday life. How simple thing has so complicated effect. The way scientists, doctors and engineers use this knowledge to manipulate, shape and modifies theres area of work was interesting to see, and advancements that is here and will come is exciting.

    wonder if luminescence material ,as a bubble, going through ring magnet , would generate charge separation , and glow?
    wonder if a bubble hovering in super-reflecting-dielectric medium can serve as optical cavity / laser gain medium ? wonder if such bubble could be manipulated by ultra sound- dynamic cavity?
    wonder if a bubble exterior could be coated to mimic topological insulator, 2D material or bubble-surface-quantum-well or create density of states?
    wonder if a bubble led is possible?

    Joanna Jinton put some recordings of ice music. On UA-cam. Those recordings are remarkably similar to whale sound. In the ocean noise/sounds vibrations play their part .
