More diamagnetic levitation movies...
The 'disproof' of magnetic levitation only applies for static charges. This video gives a quick demo of how you can test this yourself (I've never heard the audio track, so don't know if it's any good).
If you have a big enough magnetic field for its ρ/χ, you can levitate pretty much any living thing. Armed with this knowledge, biophysicists can conduct useful research like this and this.
The Scientist inside me goes, wow cool! the rest of me is left thinking, how cruel! =P
ReplyDelete(referring to the frog video)
Apparently, "[T]he small frog looked comfortable inside the magnet and, afterwards, happily joined its fellow frogs in a biology department." I'm hoping that's true..
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the transgenic plants poster?
