A study published in the journal Langmuir reported new important insights into collective interactions in the formation of surface nano- and microbubbles induced by solvent exchange. The findings of the authors, consisting of two researchers from the School of Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and one from Revalesio, demonstrate new details on how the growth of bubbles is influenced by neighboring bubbles. In tightly spaced cavities, growing bubbles self-organized into symmetric patterns, which suggests the possible use of microbubble templates to guide the deposition of nanoparticles.
