nanobubbles
Microscopic air pockets
Nanobubbles are gas-filled bubbles smaller than one micrometer in diameter—typically 100 to 200 nanometers, invisible to the naked eye.
Unlike larger bubbles that rise and pop, nanobubbles remain suspended in liquid for extended periods.
They appear in water treatment, agriculture, and medicine, where their high surface area and stability make them useful for oxygenation and cleaning: The spa claims its nanobubble bath improves skin health.
