How to Turn Sound Into Light: Sonoluminescence

The video explores the fascinating phenomenon of sonoluminescence, where mantis shrimp use their claws to create cavitation bubbles that emit light. This process, also replicable in labs using sound waves, remains a mystery as scientists are unsure how the bubbles reach such high temperatures. Theories suggest various mechanisms, including gas compression and plasma formation. Despite its simplicity, sonoluminescence is not fully understood, and the video encourages further exploration of unexplained scientific phenomena.
