Résumé

On a décelé la présence d'une couche de gaz d'àpeuprès 40 nm d'épaisseur sur la cuticule de certains crustacés décapodes marins en enregistrant la distorsion harmonique que ce gaz a causée lorsqu'on le soumet à un champ acoustique. Quoiqu'on ait démontré que le gaz pourrait être adsorbé sur la surface, une origine électrolytique est à la limite du possible.
