Synopsis

Basilisk lizards can run on water by slapping the water surface - generating the force to balance their weight. Humans have a similar motion while running: then can humans run on water? Using the Basilisk lizard running model, researchers predicted the conditions for humans to run on water and verified it experimentally.
