A metal maze built by physics students at The University of Bath will feature on the BBC 2 programme QI this week.
The show's host Stephen Fry will demonstrate the maze to panellists Aisling Bea, Jason Manford, Jonny Vegas and Alan Davies.
It was built by undergraduate students Carmen Cheng and Matthew Guy to demonstrate The Leidenfrost Effect at public and school events.
The Leidenfrost Effect occurs when a drop of liquid meets a surface significantly above its boiling point. When the maze's aluminium surface is heated, droplets of water ricochet around its surface.
A YouTube video created by the students became an internet sensation when it went live in September 2013, racking up thousands of hits from around the world.
On the back of its success, it was filmed for Reuters, New York's Science Friday and the BBC. It will also be played in the background during the QI programme.
Dr Kei Takashina, from the university's physics department, co-supervised the student's project with Dr Alessandro Narduzzo.
He said: "It's great to have our Leidenfrost maze appear on QI and wonderful that our undergraduate students' creativity is being celebrated in this way.
"It's so rewarding to bring science to such a diverse audience and I hope that viewers will find the water droplets as spectacular as other audiences locally and around the world.
"We released the film as a small extension to an outreach project with local schools and the reactions we have had were completely unexpected. It's been very exciting for everyone involved.
The programme can be seen on Friday October 10 at 10pm and will be repeated on Sunday October 12 at 10.30pm.
