摘要: Sonoluminescence (the conversion of sound into light by the extraordinary nonlinear pulsations tiny bubbles gas trapped in water) is a phenomenon that has attracted strong interest. The subject sonoluminescence also had an unusual history characterized promising avenues research being left unexplored following interesting and unexpected experimental results (see, for example, May 1998 pp38–42). Another example discovered, only researcher to abandon this line study, recently came my attention.
