At an age of 22 years old, solved a physics problem that remained a mystery for more than 100 years. The discovery was considered a breakthrough in the field and made headlines in the news all over the world, from China, to the Middle East and from all over Europe to the USA. With Application on CO2 mitigation. https://www.foxnews.com/science/student-solves-a-decades-old-physics-mystery

An EPFL Bachelor’s student has solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for 100 years. He discovered why gas bubbles in narrow vertical tubes seem to remain stuck instead of rising upwards. […] Physicists first observed this phenomenon nearly a century ago, but couldn’t come up with an explanation […] While a Bachelor’s student at the Engineering Mechanics of Soft Interfaces laboratory (EMSI) within EPFL’s School of Engineering, Wassim Dhaouadi was able to not only view the thin film of liquid, but also measure it and describe its properties – something that had never been done before. […] Dhaouadi’s research, which was published recently in Physical Review Fluids, marked the first time that experimental evidence was provided to test earlier theories. […] Dhaouadi joined the lab as a summer research assistant during his Bachelor. He made rapid progress, and continued the work of his own volition. “He essentially participated out of his interest in the research, and wound up publishing a paper from his work that brings to rest a centuries-old puzzle”, says Kolinski. […] Kolinski adds: “Wassim made an exceptional discovery at our lab. We were happy to have him working with us.”

Their findings could help inform the earth sciences field. « Whenever you have a gas that’s confined in a porous medium, » such as natural gas in porous rock, or if you’re trying to go the opposite direction and trap carbon dioxide inside rock, then you have lots of gas bubbles that are in confined spaces, Kolinski said. « Our observations are relevant to the physics of how these gas bubbles are confined. »But the other part of the excitement is that this study shows « you can have people at all stages of their career making valuable contributions, » Kolinski said. Dhaouadi « drove the project toward a successful outcome, » Kolinski said.

A new Tunisian skill has stood out beyond our borders. A Tunisian student graduating from EPFL University in Switzerland, Wassim Dhaouadi, who completed his university course by obtaining the best average for his Bachelor in mechanical engineering, seems to have more than one trick up his sleeve. This young man, with a promising future, demonstrated the full extent of his intelligence and his genius by providing an answer to a physics problem which, despite its apparent simplicity, has always puzzled many scientists who have never managed to elucidate this phenomenon.
