The physics of Diamagnetic Levitation 🛸

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Scientists can levitate a living breathing creature in midair using nothing but a powerful magnet. It is a bizarre physics phenomenon called diamagnetic levitation. You see, every living thing, including humans, is mostly made of water. Water is diamagnetic, meaning it naturally repels magnetic fields. If you place a frog inside an extremely powerful magnetic field, about a million times stronger than a fridge magnet, the water molecules inside its body physically push back against the magnet. This invisible repelling force perfectly cancels out gravity, allowing the creature to float completely unharmed in midair.
