1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (458+ words) Ultrasound can make chemistry happen inside a liquid by creating microscopic bubbles that collapse with extraordinary force. Yet a new computational study suggests that turning up the sound does not always make these reactions more powerful....

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (285+ words) Ultrasound is a powerful way to drive chemical reactions. When the high-frequency sound waves pass through a liquid, tiny bubbles form, which then violently collapse in a process called acoustic cavitation. During this collapse, gas particles are forced together, creating…...
