“We wanted to build some kind of micro-scrubber that can clean without bleach and detergents, and can get into the crevices and the cracks. And so what we did, what we found is the bubble," said Tom Leighton from the University of Southampton.

　　南安普顿大学的蒂姆·莱顿说：“我们希望制造某种微清洗器，可以不用漂白液和洗涤剂就能清洗，还能进入缝隙中。于是，我们就发现了这种泡沫。

　　Normally, bubbles of gas contained in ordinary water have smooth surfaces. But the infusion of ultrasound makes their surfaces ripple, almost like the surface of sand paper. Flowing with water over contaminated surfaces the bubbles effectively take dirt away.

　　一般情况下，普通水中含有的气泡表面是平滑的。不过，向水中发出超声波，会使泡沫表面起皱，几乎同砂纸一样。当水流过不洁物体表面时，泡沫有效地去除了污垢。

　　“One of the key factors of Starstream is that it takes any liquid that you are using and makes it several thousand times more effective. So if you are using soapy water or bleach, something like that, it will make it more effective," said Leighton.

　　莱顿说：“‘星流’的一个关键要素是，不管你用什么液体，它都可以使其效力增加几千倍。如果你用肥皂水或漂白液等等，它会使其效力更强。
