Sonochemistry: Science and Engineering

Sonochemistry and sonoluminescence in microfluidics.

One way to focus the diffuse energy of a sound field in a liquid is by acoustically driving bubbles into nonlinear oscillation. A rapid and nearly adiabatic bubble collapse heats up the bubble interior and produces intense concentration of energy that is able to emit light (sonoluminescence) and to trigger chemical reactions (sonochemistry). Such phenomena have been extensively studied in bulk ...

Mechanochemistry and sonochemistry: concluding remarks.

This paper offers a perspective on mechanochemistry and offers summarizing commentary on the Faraday Discussion 170, "Mechanochemistry: From Functional Solids to Single Molecules". The connection between the mechanical and the chemical worlds dates back to our earliest written records and beyond, but its renaissance over the past decade or so has had an impact on a huge swathe of modern science...

Engineering, Science, and Design

It is argued that the fields of science and engineering are at two ends of a spectrum of shared technological products (artifacts) and processes in which, at any given time and to some lesser or greater degree, scientists behave as engineers and engineers as scientists, creating technological artifacts and contributing to knowledge domains that drive and advance both fields. Employing an exampl...
