Features: If someone tells you their profession is studying bubbles and foam, you might laugh at first. But scientists do indeed study bubbles. Although bubbles are often associated with entertainment, they are actually very important in many aspects of our lives and the natural world, from the pharmaceutical industry to environmental greenhouse effects. Where there is a fluid—such as the ocean, car fuel tanks, and blood—there are bubbles. Of course, we can also artificially create bubbles with grass ink. When bubbles stack up, they form foam, such as delicious whipped cream. Of course, some foam can also cause trouble. This book will tell you many interesting things about bubbles and foam that you may not know. Read on, and maybe you’ll become a bubble scientist or foam scientist!
