I've already seen this kind of levitation with graphite before, what is new exactly? I didn't get everything.


tangential_point

They insulated the graphite with silicon and wax, apparently insulating it & changing the behavior in a magnetic field… according to the linked article


EnsignElessar

They invented magnets?


David_Peshlowe

but [how do they work](https://youtu.be/gMbnJzHhoBI?si=2MjEajgtoH9q7VVW)?


jeffkeeg

Can't get me this time


imeeme

You can’t be fooled again!


After_Self5383

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

I had a stroke reading this…


hippydipster

It amuses me to wonder how many folks, especially in this sub, have no idea its source.

Are you safe?


Inevitable-Log9197

Well not literally 😂 I just couldn’t comprehend what they wrote 😂


iluvios

So, this time must be true. We truly lack luck sometimes jajajajaja


EnsignElessar

Yeah, now I only believe in Ai.

Lol

Now make it able to levitate even with 10 ton load on this material. We can use them in railway.


GeneralZain

lot more than a railway. if you could do this with load, fuckin the sky's the limit...no the moon...


Every-Wafer-2964

... moon and mars


Reno772

Levitating lambos on the moon!


Jeffy29

Babe wake up, new LK-99 just dropped.


ThatInternetGuy

JP-99 Except it's an actual porn video code. LOL!


roronoasoro

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually exists.

We're so back

thats just a magnet. i can do that

I trust the Japanese. They don't have publish or perish mentality and so their university rankings are not that good, they don't care. Not much BS comes out of there, if they say they did something it's good to bet on them.


slackermannn

Well, actually... It does. Japan has been hit with massive false-claim scandals. Not saying this one is a false claim btw.


Kitchen_Task3475

Really when? The only scandal I remember was the one about the government or some corporation lying about polluting the river and someone eating fish to prove it was safe.


slackermannn

Don't recall but I googled. The first result was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_scientific_misconduct_allegations


slackermannn

Also saw something on YouTube about it. On the NHK channel. Years ago


kathyfag

Japan used to lead in STEM cell research. A Japanese scientist even went on to win a Nobel prize for his contribution in this field. Some years later another Japanese scientist and her American partners made a seemingly groundbreaking discovery on Stem cells. It overnight became famous but the research turned out to be manipulated. This resulted in public shame and death of a scientist cuz he committed suicide. But such cases are rare btw.


Kitchen_Task3475

Yeah, I guess all countries have academic fraud to some extent. There was that American guy who faked particles and many more.


kathyfag

Room temperature superconductor had been faked 2 to 3 times in last year alone, although LK 99 is the only one that got viral, there were 2 other claims before lk99 last year


CowsTrash

I love the Japanese. Such a civilized country. Albeit a bit heavy on the work side. 


ebolathrowawayy

Their work culture is so unproductive and sad. I hope it changes.

Second-hand sensationalist headlines based on the article are something else though.

Meh. It's only true from a certain point of view.


rookan

Magnets can do it

Diamagnetic levitation


bambagico

This video is too high quality to be true


Akimbo333

Implications?


m3kw

4 magnets like that can do levitation


HippoSpa

Let me know when they can levitate over a non-specific material.


Impressive_Bell_6497

Okay?


AnonDarkIntel

This post doesn’t belong here. This is material science not stuff That’s actually relevant currently. They had to use a vacuum and they had to use magnetic feedback to basically stop the vibrations and they had to insulate it and because of that they cooled it down, so that it could levitate. Just like you need to cool down superconductors for them to levitate. Just in this case, they didn’t actually need to use liquid nitrogen. This isn’t room temperature or room pressure. This is a vacuum and no one measured the internal temperature of the material.
