On an ultra-smooth surface, the Leidenfrost effect is amplified.FACT
A rough surface encourages the formation of tiny boiling bubbles right where the liquid touches the material — a process known as nucleate boiling.
An ultra-smooth surface, on the other hand, allows the vapor layer to form and remain more stable, which strengthens the vapor “cushion” characteristic of the Leidenfrost effect.
As a result, the droplet stays levitated for longer and slides more easily.
👉 So: FACT, although it’s not the only factor. Temperature, surface cleanliness, and material type also play important roles.
