Here is a government site that has some information on sonoluminescence, and an experiment they did:
http://www-phys.llnl.gov/N_Div/sonolum/
Here is a site with general information, and how to set it up:
http://www.physik3.gwdg.de/~rgeisle/nld/sbsl-howto.html

I got a good deal of my research at a local university, mostly science journals, and science magazine articles. Typing in sonoluminescence in google returns a lot of information; the sites above are just the ones I found to be most helpful on getting a general idea on the phenomenon. The thing about sonoluminescence is that no one really knows what causes it to happen. Theories on the source of light in sonoluminescence range from the idea that a small jet of water travels through the cavitating bubble at many times the speed of sound, and "fractures" the water in the same manner as a wintergreen mint releases light when it fractures, to the idea that the source of light is caused by fusion. It’s definitely an interesting phenomenon.

P.S. 1573 actually does not relate to my birthdate. Nice guesswork though

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
