Bubble Time for a Little Robot

The robot has a square head with rounded corners, a short antenna topped with a ball, round bolts on each side and big glossy eyes above a wide, happy mouth. Its boxy chest carries a panel with a large circle in the middle. The arms and legs are built from striped, ringed segments, and the hands look like soft mittens. One hand lifts a looped wand, while the other grips a small bottle of bubble liquid with a screw cap. Three bubbles of different sizes float in the air, each with a curved shine mark, and a single flower grows on a leafy stem in the lower corner.

Where Robots and Round Bubbles Come From

The word robot first appeared in the 1920 play R.U.R. by the Czech writer Karel Čapek. His brother Josef suggested it, basing it on the Czech word robota, which means forced labor. In the play, the robots were artificial workers built in a factory, and the word soon spread into many languages.

Soap bubbles have their own science. The thin soapy film pulls itself as tight as it can, and a sphere is the shape that holds the most air inside the smallest surface, so free-floating bubbles are round. The shimmering rainbow colors appear when light reflects from both the inner and outer surfaces of the film and the two reflections overlap.

Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are soap bubbles round?
The soapy film shrinks to the smallest possible surface, and a sphere is the shape that encloses the air with the least surface.
Who first used the word robot?
Czech writer Karel Čapek used it in his 1920 play R.U.R.; the word comes from robota, meaning forced labor, and was suggested by his brother Josef.
What makes the rainbow colors on a bubble?
Light bounces off both sides of the very thin film, and the two reflections mix to create swirling colors that change as the film gets thinner.
