If nothing else, [Justin Atkin] is persistent. How else do you explain a five-year quest to create sonoluminescence with simple tools? So what exactly is sonoluminescence? The short answer is as ...

Award Citation: For his exploration of sonoluminescence and its use as a spectroscopic probe of acoustic cavitation in liquids and the chemical effects thereof. Barry Arkles, Gelest, Inc. Award ...

Shrimp, for example, by snapping their jaws, can create watery explosions so violent as to stun prey, and may even produce short bursts of light in a phenomenon linked to sonoluminescence.

Professor Suslick's two major research areas are the chemical effects of ultrasound (which includes nanomaterials synthesis and sonoluminescence) and chemical sensing (specifically, his invention of ...
