Switzerland: A 100-year-old physics mystery solved by a Tunisian

A new scientific feat has just been achieved by Tunisians shining under other skies. Wassim Dhaouadi, a young researcher of Tunisian nationality living in Switzerland, has managed to solve a 100-year-old mystery of physics. The announcement was made by the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne where he is registered Wassim Dhaouadi.

”  At EPFL, a Bachelor student has solved a 100-year-old physics mystery. His research reveals the mechanisms at work when a gas bubble sticks to the walls of a narrow vertical tube. The researcher was able to experimentally measure the presence of an ultra-thin liquid film between the bubble and the edge of the tube. The study also shows that the bubble is not stuck, but evolves extraordinarily slowly.  Can we read in an article published on the official website of EPFL .

In a post published on his official Facebook page, the Swiss embassy in Tunisia congratulated himself on this feat, while stating that Wassim Dhaouadi is none other than the winner of the Best Overall All Sections Award for his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering within EPFL.

 ” A Tunisian graduate student from EPFL solve an old puzzle of a hundred years!
Wassim Dhaouadi, whom we had already presented on our page when he received the Award for the best average across all sections for his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at EPFL, found the solution to a physical phenomenon that remained without answer for scientists for a century! Well done Wassim!  Can we read in the said post.
