O_2_18 — Ball Lightning and Earthquake Lights: Anomalous Atmospheric Luminosities

Ball lightning and earthquake lights (EQL) represent two of the most enduring unsolved problems in atmospheric and geophysics. Ball lightning — luminous spheres typically 10–50 cm in diameter, persisting for seconds to m

ZA_1_16 — Sonoluminescence: Light from Sound and the Mystery of Collapsing Bubbles

Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from gas bubbles in a liquid when excited by ultrasonic sound waves. First observed by H. Frenzel and H. Schultes at the University of Cologne in 1934 (multi-bubb
