Leonardo da Vinci’s paradox on the periodic motion of bubbles cracked
Prof. Miguel Ángel Herrada, from the University of Seville, and Prof. Jens G. Eggers, from the University of Bristol, have discovered a mechanism to explain the unstable movement of bubbles rising in water. According to the researchers, the results, which are published in the journal PNAS, may be useful to understand the motion of particles whose behavior is intermediate between a solid and a gas.
Leonardo da Vinci observed five centuries ago that air bubbles, if large enough, periodically deviate in a zigzag or spiral from straight-line movement. However, no quantitative description of the phenomenon or physical mechanism to explain this periodic motion had ever been found.
The authors of this new paper have developed a numerical discretization technique to characterize precisely the bubble’s air-water interface, which enables them to simulate its motion and explore its stability. Their simulations closely match high-precision measurements of unsteady bubble motion and show that bubbles deviate from a straight trajectory in water when their spherical radius exceeds 0.926 millimeters, a result within 2% of experimental values obtained with ultrapure water in the 90s.
The researchers propose a mechanism for the instability of the bubble trajectory whereby periodic tilting of the bubble changes its curvature, thus affecting the upward velocity and causing a wobble in the bubble’s trajectory, tilting up the side of the bubble whose curvature has increased.
Then, as the fluid moves faster and the fluid pressure falls around the high-curvature surface, the pressure imbalance returns the bubble to its original position, restarting the periodic cycle.

Bahamas files emergency motion in FTX case for access to customer data

Attorneys in the Bahamas filed an emergency motion on Friday asking a Delaware bankruptcy judge to compel U.S. leaders of failed crypto firm FTX to give them access to databases as part of the proceedings.
The emergency motion claims that despite “many attempts to obtain access,” FTX employees and counsel have stymied Bahamian regulators in their effort to get critical financial information located in Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Portal databases.
The lawyers, working on behalf of the Securities Commission of the Bahamas, said the U.S. bankruptcy proceedings will “suffer no harm or hardship if this relief is granted.” They’re seeking data on FTX international customers that is stored on AWS servers, including “wallet addresses, customer balances, deposit and withdrawal records, trades, and accounting data.” Google’s technology served as an analytics platform for FTX International’s data.
“While the Joint Provisional Liquidators are happy to engage in dialogue with the U.S. Debtors, their refusal to promptly restore access has frustrated the ability of the Joint Provisional Liquidators to carry out their duties under Bahamian law and placed FTX Digital’s assets at risk of dissipation,” the filing read.
FTX filed for bankruptcy protection last month after a liquidity crunch at the crypto exchange, which was intermingling assets with sister hedge fund Alameda Research. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who had an estimated net worth of $16 billion before the collapse, will appear before U.S. lawmakers next week.
Sony’s new full-body mobile motion capture kit is the next terrifying evolution for VTubers
Sony just unveiled new mobile motion capture hardware called Mocopi (opens in new tab), a series of lightweight sensors attached to your body that lets you capture motion data with a smartphone app. This will allow folk to perform their own motion capture anywhere for a fraction of what this hardware would typically cost and do it much easier than most modern solutions that require a PC or cameras.
Users can create ‘avatar videos’ using a smartphone app that will take your real-time motion data and translate it into movements for a preset or uploaded avatar, which by the looks of the promotional trailers, means you can finally take your VTuber catboy persona (opens in new tab) into the real-world.
The process seems straightforward. You strap six tiny Bluetooth motion trackers to your head, wrists, ankles, and hip. After calibration, all your movements are transmitted wirelessly to your smartphone, where your avatar mimics you in real-time.
According to the Japanese product listing page, you’ll be able to export this data to other 3rd party software like Unity and MotionBuilder. So, you could, in theory, use this data for game development as a low-cost mocap alternative, assuming it all plays nicely with that software.
As far as Mocopi working with VR headsets like the Quest 2 or Sony’s own PSVR headset is concerned: According to the Sony Japan press site (opens in new tab) (Google translated into English, mind you), they allude that there will be some level of compatibility with VR headsets.
Sony will release an SDK to developers on December 15 that will let them take the motion data and import it into various “metaverse services” in order to increase “the degree of video expression in virtual space.” So a very strong maybe.
Mocopi is available for pre-order in Japan for 49,500 yen or $364 later this month and should be out in late January 2023. So the next time you’re in Japan and see someone spontaneously break out into a dance at a park or back alley with little doohickies attached to their body, just stay clear; they are making content, baby.
