Perspectives on surface nanobubbles. [PDF]
Biomicrofluidics, 2014 Materials of nanoscale size exhibit properties that macroscopic materials often do not have. The same holds for bubbles on the nanoscale: nanoscale gaseous domains on a solid-liquid interface have surprising properties. These include the shape, the long life time, and even superstability.

Mechanical Stability of Surface Nanobubbles [PDF]
Langmuir, 2018 Bubble cavitation is important in technologies such as noninvasive cancer treatment and diagnosis, surface cleaning, and waste-water treatment. The cavitation threshold is the critical external tensile pressure that induces unstable growth of the bubble.

Surface nanobubbles and nanodroplets [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 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 features in force curves between two hydrophobic surfaces, eventually leading to the first atomic force microscopy (AFM) image in 2000.

Manipulating Trapped Nanobubbles Moving and Coalescing with Surface Nanobubbles [PDF]
Langmuir, 2022 Trapped nanobubbles are observed nucleating at nanopits on a pitted substrate, while surface nanobubbles are usually formed on the smooth solid surface in water. In this work, trapped nanobubbles and surface nanobubbles were captured by a tapping-mode atomic force microscope (AFM) on a nanopitted substrate based on the temperature difference method.

Collapse of Surface Nanobubbles [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2015 Surface attached nanobubbles populate surfaces submerged in water. These nanobubbles have a much larger contact angle and longer lifetime than predicted by classical theory. Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish them from hydrophobic droplets, e.g., polymeric contamination, using standard atomic force microscopy.

Surface Nanobubbles Are Stabilized by Hydrophobic Attraction [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 The remarkably long lifetime of surface nanobubbles has perplexed researchers for two decades. The current understanding is that both contact line pinning and supersaturation of the ambient liquid are strictly required for the stability of nanobubbles, yet experiments show nanobubbles surviving in open systems and undersaturated environments.

Surface Nanobubbles Nucleate Liquid Boiling [PDF]
Langmuir, 2018 Surface nanobubbles have been presumed to lead to the experimental observation that liquid boiling often occurs at a much lower supersaturation than expected, yet no qualitative theory exists to explain how they participate in the process. Here, we report through a simple theoretical analysis on how the metastable nanobubbles nucleate the liquid-to ...

Stability, Dynamics, and Tolerance to Undersaturation of Surface Nanobubbles [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 The theoretical understanding of surface nanobubbles-nanoscale gaseous domains on immersed substrates-revolves around two contrasting perspectives. One perspective, which considers gas transport in the nanobubbles' vicinity, explains numerous stability-related properties but systematically underestimates the dynamical response timescale by orders of ...
