A 30-g xenon bubble chamber, operated at Northwestern University in June and November 2016, has for the first time observed simultaneous bubble nucleation and scintillation by nuclear recoils in a superheated liquid.

MFC: An open-source high-order multi-component, multi-phase, and multi-scale compressible flow solver [PDF]
MFC is an open-source tool for solving multi-component, multi-phase, and bubbly compressible flows. It is capable of efficiently solving a wide range of flows, including droplet atomization, shock–bubble interaction, and bubble dynamics. We present the 5-

Fluid–structure interactions between a near-field underwater explosion bubble and a suspended plate
During near-field underwater explosions, the structural response induced by the shock wave and bubble load significantly affects the bubble collapse and jet characteristics.

Expanding Haptic Workspace for Coupled-Object Manipulation [PDF]
Haptic force-feedback offers a valuable cue in exploration and manipulation of virtual environments. However, grounding of many commercial kinesthetic haptic devices limits the workspace accessible using a purely position-control scheme.

Impeded Growth of Magnetic Flux Bubbles in the Intermediate State Pattern of Type I Superconductors
Normal state bubble patterns in Type I superconducting Indium and Lead slabs are studied by the high resolution magneto-optical imaging technique. The size of bubbles is found to be almost independent of the long-range interaction between the normal ...

Bubble-bubble interaction: A potential source of cavitation noise
The interaction between microbubbles through pressure pulses has been studied to show that it can be a source of cavitation noise. A recent report demonstrated that the acoustic noise generated by a shrimp originates from the collapse of a cavitation bubble produced when the shrimp closes its snapper claw.

Effect of direct bubble-bubble interactions on linear-wave propagation in bubbly liquids [PDF]
We study the influence of bubble-bubble interactions on the propagation of linear acoustic waves in bubbly liquids. Using the full model proposed by Fuster and Colonius [J. Fluid Mech. 688, 253 (2011)], numerical simulations reveal that direct bubble-bubble interactions have an appreciable effect for frequencies above the natural resonance frequency of

Wall effect on interaction and coalescence of two bubbles in a vertical tube
While most studies on bubble dynamics are carried out in unconfined geometries, less attention has been paid to investigate confined bubbles and wall effects.

Quantum Bubble Nucleation beyond WKB: Resummation of Vacuum Bubble Diagrams [PDF]
On the basis of Borel resummation, we propose a systematical improvement of bounce calculus of quantum bubble nucleation rate. We study a metastable super-renormalizable field theory, $D$ dimensional O(N) symmetric $\phi^4$ model ...
