The pilot-wave dynamics of walking droplets

A millimetric droplet can be induced to bounce on the surface of a fluid bath by vibrating the bath near the droplet's resonant frequency (Figure 1(a) ). [superscript 1-3] The localized field of Faraday waves excited by the bouncing droplet can cause it to propel itself laterally across the sur...
