  • For more than a century, gigantic steel vessels have been ploughing the oceans, generating seemingly unavoidable and surprisingly costly—friction between ship and sea.
  • But this friction can be reduced in an innovative way, says Silberschmidt, with the help of millions of tiny bubbles, each just a millimeter across.
  • With the push to make shipping more efficient, ship owners are...
