The sonochemical synthesis of inorganic and biological materials

Understanding and harnessing the interaction between energy and matter is a basic scientific endeavor. The use of high intensity ultrasound to initiate chemical reactions, as opposed to traditional energy sources such as heat and light, has opened new avenues of research. The mechanism of sonochemistry involves acoustic cavitation: the formation, growth, and collapse of bubbles in a liquid. New biological and inorganic materials can be synthesized using this unusual high energy source.
