Experiments show that Leidenfrost droplets made of water and surfactant undergo a violent explosion. This unexpected behavior is triggered by the formation of a shell during the evaporation. Shortly afterwards, the temperature increases above the boiling point, leading to bubble growth, shell stretching, and explosion.
