ping, ping, ping SHRIMP!

Have you ever wondered what the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound is called?
Sonoluminescence!





Sonoluminescence was first discovered in 1934 when scientists were developing sonar technology. What's even MO-NEAT-O is that a certain shrimp species named "pistol shrimp" have been doing this for thousands of years!

Go, Go you snappy fellows!
