There was some very promising work done in the mid-1990s with sonoluminescence[1], but an apparent accident at the lab destroyed half of Chicago's industrial district, killing the project manager, who was the motivating force behind the project. Attempts to duplicate the work destroyed a government research facility in Leesburg, Virginia, and further efforts were abandoned as unviable. There was a documentary released soon after detailing the tragic costs of this scientific discovery and advancement.[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_sonoluminescence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_sonoluminescence [2] https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115857/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115857/
