UK students crush world record by levitating soap bubble for 84 minutes
The students let the bubble float mid air for a full 84 minutes before they popped it themselves.
Two third-year university students may have just claimed the world record for the longest-lasting soap bubble, after creating one on their own as part of an extracurricular school project and keeping it in the air for an incredible hour and 24 minutes.
England’s University of Exeter physics juniors Boden Duffy and Joe Nightingale put their bubble to the ultimate test on February 10, and made their bid for a Guinness Book of Record in their soundproof lab on campus.
For the bubbles, the duo utilized an acoustic levitation machine – a specialized instrument designed to suspend objects mid-air using sound waves by creating acoustic radiation pressure.
