From first results to first poster: what two PhD students learned about scientific communication

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 a set of skills quite different from those needed to write a paper or deliver an oral presentation. This format is widely used in academic conferences and PhD training as a key tool for scientific communication... Read more

Inside LeidenForce: One Year of European Research on the Leidenfrost Effect – Interview with Coordinator Stéphane Dorbolo

For the past year, the Horizon Europe-funded consortium LeidenForce has been studying the Leidenfrost effect with the goal of understanding and ultimately controlling it. To mark LeidenForce’s first anniversary, we spoke with Stéphane Dorbolo, project coordinator, based at the Université de Liège (PTyX laboratory, FNRS). A specialist in fluid physics and soft matter, he studies droplets and granular materials in collaboration with several international research teams. In this interview, he... Read more

On #WomenInScience day, we welcome Lorena Victoria García to #LeidenForce.

Her PhD explores if an electric field can locally switch off the #LeidenfrostEffect.

Supervised by Anne-Laure Biance at @cnrs & Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), with a secondment at CRM Group (Belgium).

Beneath the Vapor, Into Science: Highlights from the LeidenForce Winter School 2026

A droplet placed on a scorching surface might seem doomed to vanish instantly. Yet under certain conditions, it does the opposite: it levitates on its own vapor layer, moves with surprising mobility, and reveals a physics both elegant and complex. This is the essence of the Leidenfrost effect, spectacular, but crucial for many industrial processes, from cooling to cryogenic storage. Centered on this phenomenon, the LeidenForce Winter School 2026... Read more
