- The key novelty in this paper is the demonstration that the Leidenfrost effect can be made switchable and spatially targeted through the use of microfabricated heaters. In a recent follow up publication, this finding has been used as an enabler for the removal of topographically etched features or guiding channels via thermal gradient control (Appl. Phys. Lett. 117, 081601 (2020)). This paper arises from a collaborative EPSRC funded project (EP/L026619/1) between Durham University and Northumbria University which explored novel routes to reduce frictional resistance in pipes which is useful when transporting liquids.
