Who can improve on soap bubbles?<\/p>\n

How about colored <\/em>soap bubbles<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Tim Kehoe has stained the whites of his eyes deep blue. He’s also stained his face, his car, several bathtubs and a few dozen children. He’s had to evacuate his family because he filled the house with noxious fumes. He’s ruined every kitchen he’s ever had. Kehoe, a 35-year-old toy inventor from St. Paul, Minnesota, has done all this in an effort to make real an idea he had more than 10 years ago, one he’s been told repeatedly cannot be realized: a colored bubble.<\/p>\n

No, not the shimmering rainbow effect you see when the light catches a clear soap bubble. Kehoe’s bubble would radiate a single, vibrant hue throughout the entire sphere?a green bubble, an orange bubble, a hot-pink bubble. It’s a bubble that can make CEOs giggle and stunned mothers tear up in awe. It’s a bubble you don’t expect to see, conditioned as you are to the notion that soap bubbles are clear. An unnaturally beautiful bubble.<\/p>\n

Cool.<\/p>\n
