Soap Bubbles

The main mathematical news

1995: The Double Bubble Theorem: the shape that encloses and separates two given volumes and has the minimal surface is a standard double bubble.

2000: A general proof – The natural arrangement is the minimal surface regardless of bubble size.

2004: The planar triple bubble conjecture is proven.

Additional Theorems / conjectures / Open questions

*  The Planar Double Bubble Theorem (Same, with circles)

*  The Triple Bubble Conjecture – Does nature achieve the minimal surface when three bubbles (of equal or unequal
volume) merge?
