Liquid oxygen

Liquid oxygen (pale cyan liquid) in a beaker.
When liquid oxygen is poured from a beaker into a strong magnet, the oxygen is temporarily suspended between the magnet poles, owing to its paramagnetism.

Liquid oxygen, sometimes abbreviated as LOX or LOXygen, is the liquid form of molecular oxygen. It was used as the oxidizer in the first liquid-fueled rocket invented in 1926 by Robert H. Goddard,[1] an application which has continued to the present.
