Bubbles spill from the center of the Milky Way, seen in both gamma rays (red) and X-rays (blue). The newly found X-ray bubbles are even bigger than the previously known gamma-ray bubbles.

Scientists have discovered X-ray bubbles in the center of the Milky Way, which may be the result of thousands of ancient supernovae.

Visible only in X-ray emissions, these newfound bubbles are considerably less energetic (and less hot) than the Fermi blobs but are nearly as gargantuan, measuring about 45,000 light-years from ...

Learn how to have fun with bubbles in this week's The Science of It.

The patterns are determined by the vibration rate of the gas trapped at the nucleation point and the growth rate of the bubbles outside. These factors are determined by atmospheric pressure on the ...

At first, that frothy stream of carbonation seems endless. But just how many bubbles can emerge from a glass of beer before it goes flat? Gérard Liger-Belair, a professor of chemical physics at ...
