Non-spherical 'armored' bubbles

Pretty wild!

Non-spherical 'armored' gas bubbles by ZDNet's Roland Piquepaille -- Researchers from Harvard University have found a way to build stable 'armored' bubbles with non-spherical shapes. They can obtain peapod-, doughnut- and sausage-shaped bubbles by coating ordinary gas bubbles with a layer of particles and then fusing them." This new process might lead to new textures for ice creams or shaving foams.
