, who carried out the research with her colleagues at the University of Paris-Saclay, started the project by investigating what liquids artists and performers were using to make giant soap bubbles. 鈥淭here are a lot of recipes out there,鈥 says Pasquet, who is now at the University of California, Berkeley.
These bubbles are essentially…
