TL;DR: A millimetric droplet may bounce and self-propel on the surface of a vertically vibrating bath, where its horizontal "walking" motion is induced by repeated impacts with its accompanying Faraday wave field, which reveals a number of dynamical regimes, including those characterized by stationary bouncing droplets trapped by the harmonic potential.

TL;DR: Capillary forces dominate gravity on a small scale and may deform flexible bodies in both natural and laboratory settings as mentioned in this paper, and two examples are considered here: floating flowers and spider webs, both of which are considered in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dependence of the walker mass and momentum on its velocity and proposed a hydrodynamic boost factor for the walkers, which provides a new rationale for anomalous orbital radii reported in recent studies.
