Periodic Reporting for period 4 - DISFILM (Fluorescent-based innovative measure in thin liquid films: A way to understand stability and energy dissipation in foams and emulsions)

Nobody knows why a soap bubble collapses. When the liquid film forming the bubble, stabilised by surfactants, becomes too thin, it collapses. This seemingly simple problem, ruled by the classical laws offluid mechanics and of statistical physics, is still a challenge for the...
