What if the future of water came down to bubbles you’ll never see? Nanobubbles—thousands of times smaller than a grain of salt—are invisible, powerful, and already changing how we treat water, grow food, and even package beverages.
In this episode, we trace the surprising journey of nanobubbles from lab accident to global adoption, featuring four guests:
- John Crisman — Senior Process Engineer at Moleaer, who went from battling surfactants as a Santa Barbara operator to helping deploy nanobubbles across industries.
- Dr. Tanju Karanfil — Clemson professor and Vice President for Research, who breaks down why nanobubbles defy the rules of physics and chemistry.
- Kyle Schoenhoft — Innovation Product Manager at Xylem, revealing how they scout hundreds of technologies and why nanobubbles stood out.
- Stu Sawitz — CEO of NanoFit Water, the entrepreneur bottling “water and air” for consumers, and proving that invisible doesn’t mean insignificant.
🎧 In this episode you’ll learn:
- How nanobubbles brought a “sick” wastewater plant back to life.
- Why they persist for months and act more like particles than bubbles.
- The challenges of scaling an invisible technology from startup to industry standard.
- Why researchers, corporations, and entrepreneurs are all betting on this science.
From wastewater lagoons to aquaculture, from research labs to store shelves, nanobubbles are appearing in places you’d never expect. This is the story of the bubbles you’ll never see—but that might just change everything.
