A Drop of Water at 10,000 Frames Per Second Is a Bouncy Wonder [Video]

After you watch a water droplet make impact on water in super slow motion , the outcome is more like a trampoline than a reservoir. And it’s positively mesmerizing.

The bouncing-which scientists call the coalescence cascade , because that sounds fancier than ” bouncing” -happens too quickly to be noticed by the human eye. But viewed at 10,000 frames per second, you are able to clearly see the droplet deposit half of itself into the pool it hits, then bounce up, then repeat until it’s gone.
