How do foams behave in space? ⛓️ #shorts
On Earth, the mixture of gas and liquid that makes up a foam quickly starts to change. Gravity pulls the liquid between the bubbles downwards, and small bubbles shrink while the larger ones tend to grow at the expense of others. As the liquid is drawn downwards due to gravity the bubbles lose their strength and rupture, collapsing back to a liquid state.
This is annoying for researchers as it limits the time they can study foams and interferes with their experiments. But in space foams are more stable as the liquid does not drain to the bottom in weightlessness.

The kind of stuff I actually like seeing in my shorts recommendations
You can teach me about foams anytime
So, it is NOT in space. It is in an atmosphere but in micro-gravity.
Can Aero get any bubblier ?
Wow, it's amazing! Is it related to the FOCUS experiment conducted aboard the ISS back in 2010?
In 2056 we'll see foamy rockets
Does this mean my beers can have more head in space
