Antibubbles form only under precise conditions: droplet impact must trap air and generate a secondary jet droplet.

This study shows an optimal Weber number where formation peaks, balancing inertia and capillarity.

Antibubble formation and dynamics in detergent solution: Effects of droplet impact conditions and flow parameters

An antibubble is a liquid droplet encapsulated by a thin air shell and immersed in the same liquid phase, representing the inverse configuration of a convention
