Making Bubbles in Magma
When bubbles form in magma deep below the earth, volcanic eruptions follow. Scientists believe this happens when decompression of the magma allows volatile compounds to come out of solution and form bubbles–just as opening a bottle of seltzer allows carbon dioxide to bubble out. But a new study indicates that decompression may not be the only source of bubbles.
The team found that supersaturated fluids can nucleate bubbles when they’re sheared–even without decompression. They demonstrated this in the lab, not with magma but with a low-temperature magma analog, seen above. The more saturated with volatiles the fluid is, the less shear is needed to trigger bubbles.
Viscous shear is everywhere for magma, so this bubble formation mechanism is likely common. Better understanding how and when bubbles form in magma directly affects predictions for eruptions–especially for determining whether they’re likely to be explosive or effusive.

Inside a Bubble’s Burst
When bubbles burst at an interface, both their exterior and interior get spread into the air. Here, researchers watch as a fog-filled bubble rises through silicone oil and settles as the surface. Instabilities ripple down the bubble’s cap as it thins, and, once the bubble bursts, the fog from within is pushed upward, curling into a vortex as it goes. (Video and image credit: R. Shabtay and I.

Pluralistic: Sorry, eh (13 Jan 2026)
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/not-sorry/
"At the heart of the metaverse derangement was the persistent inflation of its definition. McKinsey & Company proclaimed in June 2022 that the metaverse could generate “up to $5 trillion in impact by 2030—equivalent to the size of the world’s third-largest economy today, Japan.” McKinsey also estimated that e-commerce would comprise $2 trillion to $2.6 trillion of that share. Of the 3,400 consumers and executives McKinsey surveyed, 95% of “business leaders” expected positive impact from the metaverse in five to ten years, while 61% expected moderate changes to their industry’s operations.
(...)
Why was this mass hallucination indulged for so long? Part of it was because profit-driven surveillance and enclosure were core ambitions of the metaverse pivot. When it came to labor, the best-case scenario resembled employers’ platonic ideal: bypassing labor laws through remote work, misclassifying full-time workers due protections and benefits as contractors, paying arbitrage wages across borders, all while subjecting workers to cold, algorithmic overseers.
As for consumers, they would be enlisted into digital sharecropping. Take Axie Infinity, the “play-to-earn” game once hailed as a crown jewel of Web3 and the metaverse. “Managers” in wealthy countries bought expensive NFTs, or non-fungible tokens (remember those?), then rented them to “scholars” in the Global South, who grinded for hours and hours in the game for a few pennies an hour, all in hopes of earning enough to one day become a manager with their own scholars. Was this a new economy? The future of the internet? Or the same old bitter taste?
At the same time, a land grab for virtual real estate broke out. Speculators poured millions into Decentraland, The Sandbox, and other virtual worlds where “land” should, theoretically, be limitless and abundant. Yet the speculators imposed artificially limits, in hopes of inflating valuations..."
