Yes they are. It leaves water vapour and some other stuff, and the water adsorbs into the fluid, just leaving very small amounts of other stuff.NickAtNight said:

Explosion-generated collapsing vacuum bubbles are a phenomenon that occurs when a high-energy explosion, such as a nuclear blast or a supernova, creates a bubble of extremely low pressure in a liquid or gas. The rapid expansion and collapse of this bubble can generate temperatures of up to 20,000 Kelvin, or over 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
These bubbles are created when the energy from an explosion creates a sudden drop in pressure, causing the surrounding liquid or gas to vaporize and form a bubble. As the pressure rapidly equalizes, the bubble collapses, generating intense heat and shockwaves.
Studying explosion-generated collapsing vacuum bubbles can help scientists better understand the physics behind high-energy explosions and their effects on the surrounding environment. This knowledge can be applied to improve safety measures for handling explosives, as well as in fields such as astrophysics and nuclear engineering.
These bubbles can pose a danger to structures and living beings in the vicinity of an explosion, as the intense heat and shockwaves can cause damage and injury. They can also have significant impact on the environment, such as creating large craters and changing the chemical composition of the surrounding area.
Scientists use various methods, such as computer simulations and laboratory experiments, to study explosion-generated collapsing vacuum bubbles. They also analyze data from real-world explosions, such as those from nuclear tests or space phenomena, to understand the behavior and properties of these bubbles.
