Nanobubbles: what do we know and how can we understand their surprising stability and morphology?

Graphical abstract: Very small bubbles at surfaces—the nanobubble puzzleIn this Tutorial Review Vincent Craig discusses the nanobubble puzzle. Nanobubbles are thought to play a role in the rupture of thin films during froth flotation, hydrodynamic slip over surfaces, interaction forces between hydrophobic surfaces and influence the electroplating and electrolysis processes. Craig covers what is known of nanobubbles and discuss the challenges in understanding nanobubble morphology and stability.
