  • A solid hitting a liquid surface normally creates a region of high pressure at the solid-liquid contact area. Now, it is shown that for a flat-bottomed cylinder hitting a liquid at low-enough impact speed, the local pressure is sufficiently low to cause the liquid to cavitate.

  • The desert moss Syntrichia caninervis maximizes water collection in dry environments by collecting water droplets from fog using the tiny hairs on the end of its leaves and passing them down through the plant, rather than taking water up through the roots.

  • Stone skipping on water is a very classical phenomenon, but the relevant fluid dynamics is more complicated than what is normally expected. Here, Belden et al. study the effect of elasticity on the skipping dynamics and show why soft spheres can skip much easier than solid spheres.

  • Droplet rebound on superhydrophobic surfaces usually occurs during the retraction phase after reaching a maximum spread diameter, even in binary impacts. The authors report a rebound phenomenon in which a sessile droplet on a hydrophobic surface lifts off in its spreading phase following the impact from a soft hydrogel bead.

  • Winged, autorotating seeds from the genus Acer can autorotate despite significant morphological alteration, enduring mass changes >% while maintaining descent velocity changes of <%. A classical aerodynamic model well predicts descent velocity.
