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 &quot;dynamic Leidenfrost effect.&quot; 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."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"126","article_number":"048001 ","doi":"10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.048001","day":"25","author":[{"id":"3A1FFC16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Waitukaitis, Scott R","first_name":"Scott R","last_name":"Waitukaitis","orcid":"0000-0002-2299-3176"},{"last_name":"Harth","first_name":"Kirsten","full_name":"Harth, Kirsten"},{"first_name":"Martin","last_name":"Van Hecke","full_name":"Van Hecke, Martin"}],"publication":"Physical Review Letters","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:49:27Z","month":"07"}
