Soap Film
Soap films are thin layers of liquid (usually water-based) surrounded by air. For example, if two soap bubbles come in to contact, they merge and a thin film is created in between. Thus, foams are composed of a network of films connected by Plateau borders. Films are used as model systems for minimal surfaces, which are widely used in mathematics.
