Can You Walk on Liquid? This One Says Yes!
81What if we told you there’s a liquid you can actually run on? It’s real—and it’s called Oobleck.
Made from just cornstarch and water, oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it doesn’t behave like normal liquids. When you apply sudden force—like running or hitting it—it instantly hardens. But the moment you stop moving, it turns back into a gooey, slow-moving liquid.
This strange behavior happens because the cornstarch particles in oobleck lock together under pressure, resisting movement. That’s why you can run across it—but if you stand still, you’ll sink!
Oobleck isn’t just fun for viral science experiments. It’s also being studied for potential use in body armor, shock absorbers, and other tech where adaptive material behavior is useful.
It’s science that’s squishy, bouncy, and incredibly cool.
