You know that black hole in your car? It’s that space between the driver’s seat (or passenger seat) and the center console – the place where things fall and are sometimes never found again.

When I was growing up one of my favorite insects to observe was the water strider (it still is). It was entrancing to watch this creature skate around on the surface of the water. “How does it do that?” I wondered. Now I know (well, at least, the very basic reasons). It uses the high
