Bubble Science, Engineering and Technology is a unique multidisciplinary resource which publishes high quality innovative research on the generation, properties and applications of bubbles in the life and physical sciences, engineering and medicine.

There is rapidly growing interest in the production and control of bubbles in numerous disciplines. Suspensions of stable gas microbubbles play a vital role in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in biotechnology, environmental engineering, and minerals and materials processing. In molecular biology, microbubbles are central to the mesoscale self-assembly of smart materials, microfabrication and DNA-driven assembly. Microbubbles have also shown great promise in therapeutic applications such as targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, thrombolysis and ultrasound surgery, and are the most effective type of contrast agent available for ultrasound radiography.

Recent developments in processing, diagnostics and therapeutics have generated a greatly increased need for advanced preparation technologies that provide a high degree of control over microbubble characteristics. Achieving these objectives requires multidisciplinary collaboration and Bubble Science, Engineering and Technology provides an effective resource for researchers in bubbles research to facilitate these interactions.

Fast track publication
Bubble Science, Engineering and Technology offers fast track publication. Articles are published online, in advance of being included in an issue, once authors have approved copyedited and typeset proofs. Fast track papers may be cited using the journal name and article DOI, to allow forward and backward citation tracking systems to associate the fast track citation with the final journal reference. For more information on fast track, see the online section of our website.

Maney Editor wins Royal Society Award
Professor Mohan Edirisinghe, Dr Eleanor Stride and Uthumanku Farook of University College London, UK, have won the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Journal of the Royal Society Interface Award for their research on controlled microbubble preparation. The work has significant potential for applications in medical imaging and targeted drug delivery. Professor Edirisinghe is Editor of the Institute’s journal Advances in Applied Ceramics: Structural, Functional and Bioceramics, and also of the recently launched journal Bubble Science, Engineering and Technology. To celebrate its fifth year of publication, the Journal of the Royal Society Interface has honoured what has been judged the best research article published in the journal over that period. Offered in conjunction with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the prize consisted of an award of £5,000 to the authors plus a student educational travel award of £2,000.The prize was awarded to Professor Mohan Edirisinghe, Dr Eleanor Stride and Mr U Farook, University College London, UK, for their paper ‘Preparation of suspensions of phospholipid-coated microbubbles by coaxial electrohydrodynamic atomization’ (J. R. Soc. Interface. 6 March 2009 6, (32), 271–277).
