Levitation of fizzy drops

As first described by Leidenfrost, liquid droplets levitate over their own vapor when placed on a sufficiently hot substrate. The Leidenfrost effect not only confers remarkable properties such as mechanical and thermal insulation, zero adhesion, and extreme mobility but also requires a high energeti...
