The physics behind building an enduring soap bubble Physics models and real-world experiments help keep bubbles from popping.

Two touching or “kissing” soap bubbles can detach, slide along each other sideways or shift to the side when they are pushed together or pulled apart. You never see a soap bubble form in the ...

Research shows that in 2D simulated fluids, upward-flowing swarms of bubbles, a mathematical relationship describing the nature of flows in their wake, previously thought to be universal, actually ...

By studying clusters of soap bubbles, researchers created a series of equations that effectively model the dynamic behavior of foams.

Although the physics governing soap bubbles is simpler than cyclone science, the models can be used as a starting point for exploring more complex systems.
