UCLA Putterman Research Group | "The frontiers of physics are all around us." G.E. UhlenbeckSolitary Waves & Turbulence. Sonoluminescence: Sound Into Light. Sonoluminescence originates in a plasma that is so dense that it blocks light. A freshly made crystal of lithium niobate has an electric field of 15 MV/cm! Solitary Waves and Turbulence. A localized solitary wave in water. Solitary motion is robust at remarkably high amplitudes. A 1 MHz acoustic wave generates bubbles that crash down to less than 100 nm in radius. Mysteries of Energy Focusing Phenomena. As you marvel at the wide range of ph...
