Elastic spheres can walk on water

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.
