The Physics of the Pistol Shrimp's Sun-Hot Cavitation Bubble

A single snap of a claw creates a shockwave that stuns prey and emits a flash of light. We dive into the physics of cavitation and how a biological creature generates temperatures exceeding five thousand Kelvin. The mechanics of the high-speed snap Why the bubble reaches extreme temperatures The phenomenon of sonoluminescence in nature Subscribe to Wild Fact Lab for more deep dives into nature's most insane biological superpowers. #PistolShrimp #MarineBiology #Physics #Cavitation #WildFactLab
