Tiny
air bubbles on colloid
surfaces. Thought to reduce drag, such as would be of benefit to swimmers
wearing a suit coverd in them. See first images of nanobubbles
An
ultra-fine gas bubble of diameter less than 1?M (1?M=1/1,000,000 m). It
usually occurs temporarily in the process of shrinking a micro-bubble, but
disappears soon because of its physical lability (constant change). Recently
scientists have succeeded in producing stabilized nano-bubbles
by collapsing micro-bubbles instantaneously in water containing electrolyte
ions.
