Diamagnetic Levitation: I can make water float

As is usual, your video sent me down a rabbit hole.. I've learned that our planets magnetic field is incredibly weak compared to these " laboratory magnets". Makes sense as otherwise metal would be impossible to use or even pick up from the ground. Thanks Dr Maggie, I'll be spending the rest of the evening having my mind blown by magnetism. 😂

I did not expect such a complete answer. I also didn't realize how little I knew about these effects . Thank you.

Space Mog: astronomy channel - "I can make water float, here is where I've been breeding worms..." Not what I was expecting. Great video as always, but so nice to see how scientific fields overlap, like how studying space isn't just telescopes. Nice one.

👏👏👏 All the notifications, please! Idk why the algorithm hadn't suggested your channel sooner, but I'm happy to have discovered you today ☺️

Everyone here should like and share. We need real science like this on YouTube 😊

My jaw literally dropped as soon as you mentioned the strength of your magnets. Liked and subscribed instantly. I would love for you to elaborate on your research.

Amazing. I used to have to service large computer disk drives that use a rare earth magnets to drive their read/write head actuators. When there was a head/disk surface contact, we would replace the disk enclosure and the magnets due to contamination. We would use these old magnets for various things as they had a very strong magnetic force focused into their center where the coil used to operate. If anyone got near these magnets with a wrist watch, it would immediately ruin them by magnetizing their internal metallic parts. If you got a screw driver stuck on its focal point, it took a great effort to remove it. I can't imagine the magnetic forces you are dealing with. Thank you for your fantastic video. No matter how old I get, I still enjoy learning and your channel is wonderful. Keep up the great work and research!

I turned up the volume louder than regular cause your voice is so nice to listen to :)

An excellent overview of the different magnetic orientations(?) regimes(?) configurations(?), and great information is a breath of fresh air. Because all too often the details are left out.

How does this channel only have 13k subs?!?! Happy new listener, thank you!

Another great video Dr Maggie. Looks like your channel is starting to take off, you deserve it.

Nice video. There remains the question of rapid mutation and/or genetic degradation of anything placed inside such a magnetic field. I remember this thing that went around the early internet about how to use magnetic fields to mutate horsetail to grow much larger. I actually had a friend show me a resulting plant later when I was studying physics at university (though I only did 2 years).

I know i am quite science dumb but i feel smarter after watching Dr. Maggie"s videos :goodvibes:

Not only a succesful & hardworking scientist but also a very good & authentic science communicator. 👑 Thank you for helping us understand science and creating really interesting & educative contents! Feel lucky to discover your channel before everyone else haha!!’ I’m sure your channel will reach 100K+ followers. ❤

Ok, this is the first video that I saw in your channel and I am really convinced that it worth to be subscribe.

Wow, I clicked on this video straight away since I had just watched Veritasium's video on the largest magnet where he also briefly mentioned diamagnetism! I'm honestly amazed at all the research done at Nottingham, I had no idea this was even in the physics building and that Dr Hill (he's my lecturer this year for N2E!) and you worked on such amazing experiments

I like your enthusiasm! Genuine mind right here

I really appreciate the detail in the video. It answers all the questions I had in your previous one! Outstanding!

Great work Dr Maggie, and really interesting. Thankyou for sharing some of what you do, and also for the wider benefit of science in this field.

“… this one here is the 19 Tesla and it’s where I kept my worms.” 😂 Priceless, new subscriber! 👍😂
