With the aid of kitchen mixers, engineers at Harvard`s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have whipped up, for the first time, permanent nanoscale bubbles - bubbles that endure for more than a year - from batches of foam made from a mixture of glucose syrup, sucrose stearate, and water. Their study appears in the May 30 issue of the journal Science.
