LeidenForce is a Horizon Europe MSCA-DN research project exploring the physics and applications of the Leidenfrost effect.
What is the Leidenfrost effect, and why does it matter? Understanding and controlling this phenomenon could help reduce unwanted thermal effects while enabling new technologies in heat transfer, materials processing, and fluid systems.

Long before high-speed imaging and numerical simulations, Georges Sire was already investigating the behavior of liquids on hot surfaces. On the anniversary of his birth, we look back at the work of this 19th-century physicist and his contribution to the early study of the Leidenfrost effect.

Presenting research in the form of a scientific poster may seem straightforward at first glance. One page, a few figures, a title.
In reality, the exercise is far more demanding. It requires...
