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.

What temperatures are super cool and super hot?

I could be both those temperatures. *yukyukyuk*
