In this segment of the SciShow, host Hank Green tells us all about sonoluminescence, the phenomenon where sound (at a certain frequency) creates an imploding bubble and generates light when going through a liquid.

So, a mantis shrimp’s claws are pretty strong… so strong that they can produce a bubble that’s about as hot as the sun and collapses with a flash of light when they snap… and scientists aren’t quite sure how they do it!
