Magnetically Levitating Mice
NASA has built a device that keeps mice floating to study the health effects of spaceflight.

...a magnetic field of 17 teslas

...The researchers have shown previously that the device can levitate water-based items for hours, but were skeptical that it would be able to make a mouse, weighing10-grams, float for long periods of time. Yet, they were able to “fly” the mouse for hours, allowing it to roam freely, and giving it food and water.

Levitating Mice...

First time I’ve read about that.

Quite amazing.
