Her findings, and suggestions of manufacturing process improvements, are very interesting.
- psychphysic 3y agoSeems silly to compare to that absolute chunk of pyrplytic graphite. Shouldn't it be a similar size spec?
- jiggawatts 3y agoAFAIK the chunk will levitate irrespective of size up to some maximum. Diamagnetism is a property of the material, not the shape.
