Physicist Andre Geim demonstrated the diamagnetic levitation of water and live animals, including a frog, using a strong magnetic field. He won the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 and later the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for his research on graphene. The levitating frog image caused confusion as many thought it was […]
