The RV Jones Lecture with Professor Timothy Leighton - King's College Conference Centre

Small air-filled bubbles, submerged in water, are perhaps the most powerful objects in the natural world when it comes to interacting with sound fields. Their ability to generate sound, when trapped under waterfalls or breaking ocean waves, has allowed us to quantify key parameters required for forecasting climate change, and for predicting how other worlds will sound. Their ability to scatter sound has been used by whales and dolphins to hunt.

Today, we can use sound to make such bubbles dance on the surface of incurable or difficult-to-heal wounds, in order to offer a cure that requires no antibiotics, and so does not fuel the oncoming antibiotic apocalypse.

Join Professor Timothy Leighton as he delves further into this fascinating topic as part of the distinguished RV Jones Lecture series.
