We present a number of fresh perspectives on pilot-wave hydrodynamics, the field initiated
in 2005 by Couder and Fort's discovery that millimetric droplets self-propelling along the …

The oscillatory pitch motion at the leading edge of a millimeter‐scale flexible sheet on the
water surface can generate undulatory locomotion for swimming, similar to a honeybee …

Robots capable of generating adhesion forces that can achieve free movement in
application environments while overcoming their own gravity are a subject of interest for …

When a solid body floats at the interface of a vibrating liquid bath, the motion of the object
generates outwardly propagating surface waves. We here demonstrate that chiral objects on …

A theory is presented for wave-driven propulsion of floating bodies driven into oscillation at
the fluid interface. By coupling the equations of motion of the body to a quasipotential flow …

We study the drag on a centimetric sphere in a uniform flow in the presence of a free surface
as a function of submergence depth. Through direct force measurements in a custom …

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) studies the interaction between fluid and solid objects. It
helps understand how fluid motion affects solid objects and vice versa. FSI research is …

We present an experimental study of capillary surfers, a new fluid-mediated active system
that bridges the gap between dissipation-and inertia-dominated regimes. Surfers are wave …

While the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is continuously growing, safety issues still
remain, specifically related to fire hazards. This research aims to improve the resilience of …

Marangoni surfers are simple, cost-effective tabletop experiments that, despite their
simplicity, exhibit rich dynamics and collective behaviors driven by physicochemical …
