The supervisor's position is opening up at my imaging center. Question is - can anybody really follow Chip at TIA? It will be like having to replace Pope JPII.

Magnets at work

How to float like a stone


What goes up no longer has to come down. British scientists have developed an antigravity machine that can float heavy stones, coins and lumps of metal in mid-air. Based around a powerful magnet, the device levitates objects in a similar way to how a maglev train runs above its tracks.
The device exploits diamagnetism. Place non-magnetic objects inside a strong enough magnetic field and they are forced to act like weak magnets themselves. Generate a field that is stronger below and weaker above, and the resulting upward magnetic force cancels out gravity.

It won't be long, folks, until exeryday applications of this technology takes us into the Jetson age.
