In this paper we provide experimental evidence for a phase transition between a liquid- and gas-like phase occurring in an adsorption layer of a soluble surfactant at the air-water interface. The equilibrium surface tension sigma(e) versus bulk concentration sigma(e) (c) isotherm of surface chemical
