Dorbolo The roughness of a solid is known to increase the minimal temperature for observing the Leidenfrost effect. A new study shows that a volatile liquid drop placed on the surface of a smooth substrate—a non-volatile liquid pool—reaches the Leidenfrost state as soon as the liquid of the pool is just hotter than the drop boiling point, with no apparent Leidenfrost threshold.
