Sonoluminescence in the Early Years

Early priorities for sonoluminescence include Dazzler comics and Exodus 20:18 (quadrilinear bible, courtesy of campus Rabbi Chaim).  See our publications in Scientific American 1995 and Nature 1991 and Physics World 1999 for more references regarding early physics research on sonoluminescence.
