>>Zenit stumbled across yet another potential application when he struck up a conversation with another customer while waiting in line for coffee. The customer worked for a company that built curtains of bubbles around wind turbines in the ocean to dampen the noise and protect marine life. "If you wanted to have a more closely controlled bubble curtain to protect marine life from wind turbine noise, you could add a biosurfactant," said Zenit.
