Yes, actually! I just went looking and can't find it, but there was a science paper years ago about dropping.... hydrogen ions into liquid helium?
The expectation was that the electrostatic forces would create "bubbles" of empty around the ions, which (the bubbles, not the ions) would then be detected when they reached the bottom.
They found those bubbles. They also found many differently sized bubbles, all smaller, in a size distribution correlating to the probability that the ion would pierce the surface tension of the liquid.
The interpretation was that the smaller bubbles were the "pieces" of the waveform that traversed the surface tension. This was taken as evidence the waveform is an actual thing that actually exists.
I really wish I could find it...
