Another Small Step Towards Bubble Fusion

Nature is reporting that researchers have determined that a mix of sulphuric acid and argon, when subjected to sound in the 40Hz range, creates bubbles that, upon collapse, create plasma, which is a necessary precursor for fusion (my, that was an awkward sentence). The bottom line is that if this effect can be engineered properly, we could have a new, excellent energy source. This is no doubt going to take a long time to acheive, but it makes for interesting reading...

I found this story because I have a Google Alert set up to watch for "bubble fusion". Very useful for keeping an eye on news you are interested in, but don't have the time to keep tabs on.
