When an external magnetic field is applied to 'diamagnetic' materials, these materials generate a magnetic field in the opposite direction, resulting in a repulsive force—they push away from the ...

Related: Is it possible to reach absolute zero? Bismuth is an example of a diamagnetic material, yet this is not the behavior we would expect from the element's electron configuration. The type of ...

[NightHawkInLight] has been playing around with the diamagnetic properties of bismuth. Diamagnetic materials get a lot of attention due to their strange ability to produce the opposite of the ...
