Splash a few drops of water on a hot pan and if the pan is hot enough, the water will sizzle and the droplets of water seem to roll and float, hovering above the surface. The temperature at which this ...

A research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently designed a structured thermal armor (STA) that achieves efficient liquid cooling even over 1,000°C, ...

CityUHK has designed a revolutionary capillary structure that can trigger the Leidenfrost effect, offering a practical solution for the temperature-regulated Leidenfrost effect without requiring ...

We’ve seen water seem to travel uphill in gravity hills. That was an illusion, but physics has found a way to make water zip up some tiny stairs like it’s Rocky ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently designed a structured thermal armour (STA) that achieves efficient liquid cooling even over ...

And the Leidenfrost effect for water requires it to transition to steam. But there is still water in liquid form floating above it. The effect isn't invalidated because not all of the water is still ...

We’ve seen water beading on hot surfaces due to the Leidenfrost effect, but this video shows a slow-motion droplet dancing on its cloud of vapor. It’s the coolest thing ever, and only lasts for a few ...
