In contrast, vaporizable soft solids, e.g., hydrogels, have been shown to exhibit persistent bouncing - the elastic Leidenfrost effect. By carefully lowering hydrogel spheres towards a hot surface, we discover that they are also capable of floating. The bounce-to-float transition is controlled by the approach velocity and temperature, analogously to the "dynamic Leidenfrost effect." For the floating regime, we measure power-law scalings for the gap geometry, which we explain with a model that couples the vaporization rate to the spherical shape. Our results reveal that hydrogels are a promising pathway for controlling floating Leidenfrost objects through shape."}],"_id":"126","publication":"Physical Review Letters","month":"07","publisher":"American Physical Society","year":"2018","type":"journal_article","volume":121,"day":"25","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:46Z","oa_version":"None","date_published":"2018-07-25T00:00:00Z","title":"From bouncing to floating: the Leidenfrost effect with hydrogel spheres","extern":"1","publication_status":"published","status":"public"}
