Some commercial ships are now releasing a steady stream of bubbles underwater, and the reason is purely functional: reducing drag. This technique, called air lubrication, reduces resistance and helps ...

A humble little lizard has developed a clever escape route from predators – it blows a bubble over its nostrils and scuba dives to safety for 20 minutes or more. Now, a biologist has explored exactly ...

Some lizards can stay underwater for longer by blowing out and then rebreathing bubbles of air. This has been suspected since the behaviour was first observed, and now experiments have confirmed it.

Humpback whales caught blowing giant bubble rings underwater may have been attempting some kind of communication with their audience of human onlookers, a new study suggests. Humpback whales ...

Several species of anolis lizards blow bubbles from their noses to breathe underwater, according to research published in the scientific journal Current Biology this month. While aquatic insects have ...

Aquatic insects and other invertebrates are well known for carrying bubbles underwater for respiration. Now scientists have found tropical lizards that also “breathe” underwater this way—a ...

. This technique, called air lubrication, reduces resistance and helps ships glide more efficiently through water by creating a layer of microbubbles along the hull. Less resistance also means lower ...
