It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2026 International Conference on Nanobubbles, Nanodroplets, and Their Applications (Nanobubble 2026), to be held at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, New Jersey, USA, from August 19–21, 2026. Building upon the strong legacy of previous conferences in Kyoto (2024), Magdeburg (2022), Suzhou (2018), Coffs Harbor (2017), Shanghai (2014), and Les Houches (2012), Nanobubble 2026 continues to serve as the premier global forum for advancing the fundamental understanding and practical applications of nanobubbles (also known as ultrafine bubbles according to ISO/TC 281) and nanodroplets.

Conference dates: August 19th-21st, 2026

Nanobubble technologies support several UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) by reducing energy and chemical use across applications such as irrigation, wastewater treatment, and medical processes.

The conference will feature the latest discoveries, technical developments, and real-world implementations of nanobubble and nanodroplet technologies across a diverse range of disciplines.

Scientific sessions will encompass:

  • Fundamentals, theories, and measurement/characterization of nanobubbles and nanodroplets
  • Mechanisms of formation, stability, and interfacial behavior
  • Advanced modeling, imaging, and analytical techniques
  • Applications in food processing, medicine, chemical and environmental engineering, agriculture, and industrial processes, including mass transfer enhancement, catalysis, and reaction intensification

As a leading public polytechnic university, NJIT is a hub of technological innovation spanning nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and environmental systems. With its strong tradition of interdisciplinary research and global collaboration, NJIT provides an ideal venue to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in nanobubble and nanodroplet science.

Nanobubble 2026 will bring together researchers, industry professionals, educators, and policymakers from around the world to exchange ideas, strengthen collaborations, and explore the transformative potential of these emerging technologies. Together, we will address critical opportunities and challenges in agriculture, water treatment, food engineering, energy, and healthcare, where nanobubbles and nanodroplets are poised to make a profound and lasting impact.

We look forward to welcoming you to Newark, New Jersey, in 2026, to shape the next exciting chapter of nanobubble and nanodroplet research and applications.
