BBC News - Physicists burst bubble mystery

BBC News - Physicists burst bubble mystery: "With the help of high speed video, scientists have discovered that there is far more to bursting bubbles than meets the eye.

Under the right conditions, a bursting bubble on a liquid surface does not simply vanish, but creates a perfect ring of tiny 'daughter bubbles'.

This occurs as the ruptured bubble retracts into the liquid, forming a doughnut shape of trapped air."
