   If you are unfarmiliar with the leidenfrost effect its where a drop of liquid is suspended over a super hot surface by a cloud of vapor between the surface and the liquid.
   
   I was wondering if the same effect would be observed with a supercooled surface and a superhot liquid such as a drop of liquid metal?
   
   Thoughts?

   I think it would depend on the materials, but in general when something super hot touched something super cold the cold material can undergo phase transition quite explosively.
