Diamagnetic Levitation: I can make water float

Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! Diamagnetic materials exhibit a remarkable property - the ability to levitate when placed in a powerful magnetic field. This counterintuitive effect defies gravity and reveals fascinating insights into the nature of matter and electromagnetism.
In this video, we explore the physics behind diamagnetic levitation, a phenomenon first predicted by Sir Michael Faraday in 1846.
