Whatever floats your boat? Scientists defy gravity with levitating liquid – The Guardian
Researchers use vibrations to make toy vessels bob about under floating layer of liquid
Scientists have turned the world upside down with a curious quirk of physics that allowed them to float toy boats the wrong way up beneath a levitating body of liquid.
In a striking demonstration of the mind-bending effect, the boats seem to defy the laws of gravity as they bob about on the water above them with their sails pointing down.
