  Donald A. Glaser Biography | World of Invention
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.
Glaser has described his experience studying bottles of beer, ginger ale, and soda water before settling on a model for the bubble chamber.

 Donald A. Glaser - Biography
Donald Arthur Glaser was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 21, 1926, the son of William J. Glaser, a businessman, and his wife Lena.
Glaser turned away from physics in 1962 to explore the new field of molecular biology, which had fascinated him from his time in graduate school at Caltech.
Motivated by this observation, Glaser and two friends co-founded the first biotechnology company, thus starting an industry that is having great success in bringing the fruits of molecular biology to applications in medicine and agriculture.

 Nobel Prize Awarded To Nine Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Scientists
The story is that Berkeley Lab physicist Donald Glaser was admiring the smooth, clean lines formed by the stream of bubbles in a glass of beer which he was in the process of imbibing.
Glaser filled his bubble chambers with diethyl ether, but Alvarez replaced this with liquid hydrogen because the single-proton nucleus of hydrogen atom minimized any interference with the particles being tracked.
Glaser's original bubble chamber was all glass because it was believed that smooth walls were necessary to prevent the formation of unwanted bubbles.

 MCB Donald Glaser and his bubble chamber (1960)
That was the basic idea behind the bubble chamber, a powerful instrument for the study of atomic particles that led to a 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics for its inventor, UC Berkeley professor Donald Glaser.
Glaser first conceived of the bubble chamber in 1952, at the age of 25, while a faculty member at the University of Michigan.
Now a Professor of the Graduate School, Glaser's research has shifted to the construction of computational models that shed light on the physics and physiology of human perception.

 Gray and Shalala are spring commencement speakers
Donald Glaser, one of the youngest scientists ever to be awarded a Nobel Prize, invented and developed the bubble chamber, a research instrument used to observe the behavior of subatomic particles, while at the U-M. He was a member of the Department of Physics, 1949–1959.
Glaser says the idea for the bubble chamber arose from a systematic study of all the ways that the minuscule energy available in the track of a charged particle could be amplified so that the particle’s path could be photographed.
Glaser, who earned a B.S. degree from the Case Institute of Technology in 1946 and a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 1950, was a visiting professor of physics at Berkeley in 1959 and became a permanent faculty member there in 1960.
