Hovering on Heat: The Leidenfrost Effect from Kitchen Tricks to High-Tech Labs

We explore the Leidenfrost effect—the droplets that skate on a hot pan and the surprising physics that follows. From inverse Leidenfrost and reactive variants to real-world applications in mass spectrometry and frictionless heat engines, we connect kitchen science to frontier technology and reveal why heat can sometimes slow the boil instead of speed it up.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
