A thin vapor layer streaming around the sphere can be observed by the ripples moving along the sphere surface. (b) Snapshot at the instant when the sphere has cooled to the Leidenfrost temperature that is marked by an explosive release of bubbles.”

(The video explains how superconductivity works… with dance and music!) And don’t tell me it’s only a physics concept- the synthesis of superconductors is also chemistry.
