Caption: The sequence for the oxygen drop dripping upwards: The oxygen drop grows on the surface of the superconductor (Top left image); The oxygen drips upwards and boils on the levitating magnet; the drop necks into two drops (or as shown in the videos below is completely lifted up to towards the levitating magnet); The old drop boils on the magnet and a new drop forms on the superconductor.
Caption: Four videos of droplets dripping upwards!
