Abstract: Single-bubble sonoluminescence is the phenomenon of creating light from sound by creating and destroying bubbles in water. Depending on the frequency of the acoustic cycle, a bubble can emit 20,000 flashes per second. Now that the physics behind single-bubble sonoluminescence is better understood, researchers may consider growing larger bubbles to create greater flashes of light and, perhaps, even fusion in a jar.
