The Inverse Leidenfrost Effect

The video explores the inverse Leidenfrost effect, where droplets levitate on a liquid nitrogen bath. The experiment setup involves using beakers and Styrofoam to maintain temperature. Initial attempts faced issues with boiling nitrogen, but a successful trial demonstrated droplet levitation. The video explains the droplet's motion due to vapor layer instabilities and discusses potential applications in cryopreservation.
