Zubbles!

Ok, this is old news I guess; gizmodo (general link) covered this a while back. I just heard about it today on NPR (ditto).

For 60 years there has been little happening in the world of bubble technology. They have that wand with a rope to make huge bubbles, guns that shoot bubbles, and that’s about it as I can recall. Enter the Zubble. This is a wicked-cool colored bubble and although it seems simple, it is actually a result of one of the most complicated advancements of chemical and biotech engineering known to man.

10 years of crazy scientific hassle and a struggle for financing were needed to create a colorful bubble that wouldn’t stain or poison the children of the world. Obviously worth the wait.
