Abstract
Sonoluminescence (the conversion of sound into light by the extraordinary nonlinear pulsations of tiny bubbles of gas trapped in water) is a phenomenon that has attracted strong interest. The subject of sonoluminescence has also had an unusual history characterized by promising avenues of research being left unexplored following interesting and unexpected experimental results (see, for example, May 1998 pp38–42). Another example of sonoluminescence being discovered, only for the researcher to abandon this line of study, recently came to my attention.Keywords
