Scientific American: Sonoluminescence - Provides explanation of why it is unlikely that sonoluminescence produces the conditions necessary to initiate or facilitate nuclear fusion, as suggested in the movie "Chain Reaction".
Sonoluminescence Experiment: Sound Into Light - W.A. Steer's account of his work to construct apparatus to enable the observation of sonoluminescence, to investigate its basic properties, and leave a kit and instructions to form the basis of a future final-year undergraduate experiment.
Sonoluminescence in Space at Boston University - Proposes to study sonoluminescence in space and in microgravity.

Sonoluminescence - Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound.
Bubble fusion - Bubble fusion or sonofusion is the common name for a nuclear fusion reaction hypothesized to occur during sonoluminescence, an extreme form of acoustic cavitation; officially, this reaction is termed acoustic inertial confinement fusion (AICF) since the inertia of the collapsing bubble wall confines the energy, causing a rise in temperature. The high temperatures producible through sonoluminescence raises the possibility that it might be a means to achieve thermonuclear fusion.
Chain Reaction (film) - Chain Reaction is a 1996 American film starring Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Morgan Freeman and Fred Ward. It presents a fictional account of the invention of bubble fusion using sonoluminescence (the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound).
