Glaser was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 21, 1926.
The concept Glaser had in mind, therefore, was just the reverse of the cloud chamber: a device with a liquid ready to boil rather than a vapor ready to condense to a liquid.

It was his invention of the bubble chamber at the remarkably young age of 39 that the Nobel committee recognized as a true masterpiece.
While a graduate student at Caltech, Glaser’s thesis required the use of two Wilson cloud-chambers – an awkward and ineffective system that Glaser was determined to improve.
Glaser presented here his research leading to the bubble chamber, an early version of which is illustrated in the photographic images.

 THE MEN ON THE COVER -- Monday, Jan. 02, 1961 -- Page 2 -- TIME
Donald Arthur Glaser, 34, wore an evening waistcoat that was yellowed with age when he stepped up to receive his Nobel Prize in Physics from Sweden's King Gustav VI Adolf early this month.
The old vest, he explained, had been worn by two other Nobelmen, Edwin McMillan and Emilio Segre, before him, "and I guess I'll pass it along to somebody else for some future Nobel ceremony." Chances are, Glaser himself may some day want it back for just that reason.
Having reached top rank in his field with his invention of a bubble chamber for photographing atomic particles, the Cleveland storekeeper's son has decided to start all over again—this time in microbiology.

In the early 1950's, University of Michigan physicist Donald Arthur Glaser came up with the brilliant idea of the bubble chamber after being inspired by the rising bubbles in a glass of beer.
Inside a bubble chamber, the liquid is "superheated." That is, it is made to be very hot, above its normal boiling point, but kept under a pressure great enough to keep it from boiling into its gaseous state.
The bubble chamber was an important development in modern particle detection, superceding the cloud chamber and paving the way toward modern detectors like the ones here at DZERO.
