The Leidenfrost effect: Levitating droplets bounce off each other

Known as the triple Leidenfrost effect, when two different liquids are placed on a hot enough surface, they will levitate and bounce off one another.

Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of chloroplasts from the yellow portion of a yellow/green variegated Coleus blumei plant. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, the process that synthesises carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight. The structure of a variegated chloroplast is slightly different from that of a normal green chloroplast. The granal stacks, formed from parallel thylakoids (membranes, bright lines), that contain the chlorophyll pigments are less ordered in the variegated chloroplast. The pigments themselves are also slightly different. Magnification: x14,300 when printed at 10cm wide.

From photosynthesis to navigation, life may exploit quantum effects

There is tantalising evidence to suggest that photosynthesis in some bacteria depends on quantum coherence and birds’ amazing feats of navigation rely on entanglement
