Abstract: Abstract Hypothesis The debate as to whether nanoparticles that are formed upon mixing ethanol and water are nanobubbles or other nanoparticles has continued over the past decade. In this work, we test the hypothesis that long lived bulk nanobubbles are produced upon mixing ethanol and water, using techniques that probe the density and the pressure response of the nanoparticles. Experiments Nanoparticles were generated spontaneously upon mixing high-purity ethanol and high-purity water. The size distribution of these nanoparticles was obtained ...
