A nanoscale view of bubble formation (IMAGE)
Caption
A very thin film of liquid forms under a steam bubble during boiling. It determines how precisely the bubbles grow and detach from different surfaces. A German-Chinese research team led by the HZDR observed these processes on the nanometer scale for the first time.
