Duke students find a way to walk on water
 Well, not quite. 

The students of Duke University filled a pool with a mix of cornstarch
and water to create a non-Newtonian fluid known as "oobleck". When
stress is applied to the liquid it exhibits properties of a solid. Watch
as they walk, run and jump on this amazing fluid and see the interesting effects
produced when oobleck is disturbed at certain frequencies!
