Holes in a liquid

I'll do my best to describe this... it's a new study into non-Newtonian matter - in essence, matter that doesn't quite fit into old Isaac's liquid/solid/gas conception. These scientists found that cornstarch solutions (or tiny micron sized glass bead solutions) could have an oscillation applied to them and would do strange things, such as be punctured and retain the hole. More impressive visually are the "finger" structures that build and writhe until the oscillator is removed. Check out the video.
