Walking on Water: The Science Experiment

The video explores the possibility of walking on water by mimicking the morphology of animals like lizards. Initial attempts using floaters made of polystyrene and wax cloth failed. The team then experimented with cornflour to alter the water's structure, creating a non-Newtonian fluid. After extensive testing, they succeeded in walking on water by moving quickly across a pool filled with a cornflour-water mixture.
