The article title is somewhat misleading. The authors have only investigated "the properties of surfactant and polymer solutions commonly used to make giant bubbles with surface areas approaching 100 m^2", and they don't provide any insights as to why giant bubbles are stable. In fact, they don't investigate giant bubbles at all! A clearer title would have been "Shear rheology of soap solutions used for making giant bubbles." But that wouldn't sound half as interesting.
