# gst: soft entities; strange randomly flying of droplets across surfaces, to condense ...

<< when researchers took a look at the newest method of condensation, they saw something strange: When a special type of surface is covered in a thin layer of oil, condensed water droplets seemed to be randomly flying across the surface at high velocities, merging with larger droplets, in patterns not caused by gravity. >>
