In these fluid dynamics videos, we show how bubbles flowing in a thin microchannel interact under an acoustic field. Because of acoustic interactions without direct contact, bubbles self-organize into periodic patterns, and spontaneously form acoustically bound crystals. We also present the interaction with boundaries, equivalent to the interaction with image bubbles, and unravel the peculiar vibration modes of the confined bubbles.
