Composite image showing the times lapsed images of thermodynamic cycle of a trampolining elastic gel on a hot surface via release of water/gas molecules. By manipulating the gel/surface interface, we observe extreme Leidenfrost effect that provides a sheer platform for overall shape morphing of the gel.
