Cavitation bubbles bursting with cleaning power - Science Nation

The video explores the concept of cavitation bubbles, which are formed when air is churned in water. These bubbles have potential applications in cleaning and sanitizing food without toxic chemicals. Biofluid scientist Sonny Jong and his team study the dynamics of these bubbles using high-speed cameras. The research aims to use cavitation bubbles to remove soil and microbes from fruits, offering a non-toxic cleaning method. Currently used in industrial applications, cavitation bubbles could become common in supermarkets and kitchens, providing a safe way to clean produce.
