A liquid droplet hovering on a hot solid surface is commonly referred to as a Leidenfrost droplet. In this study, we discover that a Leidenfrost droplet spontaneously performs a series of distinct oscillations as it shrinks during the span of its life. The oscillation first starts out erratically, f...
