microburbujas
Microburbujas, also known as microbubbles, are tiny gas-filled spheres with diameters typically ranging from 1 to 100 micrometers. They are distinct from larger bubbles due to their unique physical properties and behaviors. These microscopic structures can be formed in a variety of liquids by methods such as gas sparging, sonication, or mechanical agitation. The small size of microbubbles means they possess a significantly larger surface area to volume ratio compared to macroscopic bubbles, which influences their stability and interaction with their surroundings.
The primary applications of microbubbles leverage their physical characteristics. In medical imaging, they serve as contrast
