Acoustic Cavitation

Acoustic cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs when ultrasonic waves create rapidly fluctuating pressure in a liquid, resulting in the formation and collapse of tiny bubbles. These bubbles, when they implode, generate intense energy, heat, and shock waves. This process can be harnessed for various applications, such as enhancing chemical reactions, cleaning surfaces, and even in medical treatments like breaking up kidney stones. Essentially, acoustic cavitation leverages the power of sound waves to manipulate and transform materials at a microscopic level.
