The National Physical Laboratory has developed the first sensor capable of measuring localized ultrasonic cavitation -- the implosion of bubbles in a liquid when a high frequency sound wave is applied. The sensor will help hospitals ensure that their instruments are properly disinfected before they are used on patients.
