The Case of the Surfing Bees

摘要

Alking on Caltech's campus, research engineer Chris Roh (MS '13, PhD '17) happened to notice a bee stuck in the water of Millikan Pond. Although it was a common-enough sight, it led Roh and his then-adviser Mory Gharib (PhD '83) to a discovery about the potentially unique way that bees navigate the interface between water and air.
