Bubbles

BBC World Service - The Forum, Bubbles

The curious properties of bubbles in the oceans, in our bodies and in art.

Exploring bubbles, those magical - and ultimately fragile - spherical cavities. With Helen Czerski,  Constantin Coussios and Bradley Hart.

Fragile gas filled spheres, sparkling champagne globules that fill your nose with fizz, pipe dreams that pop when the illusion grows too big: the Forum explores the mysterious world of bubbles. Bridget Kendall is joined by bubble physicist Helen Czerski, biomedical engineer Constantin Coussios and artist Bradley Hart who makes giant paintings using bubble wrap.
