Using Magnetic Levitation for Three Dimensional Self‐Assembly
Source abstract
Abstract
Magnetic levitation (MagLev) enables 3D self-assembly of diamagnetic objects with control over many aspects of position and orientation. This work demonstrates the ability of MagLev to position and align components, such as mirrors, filters, lenses, and soft objects, without mechanical support.

62. MnCl2and GdCl3are also soluble in alcohols and polar organic solvents such asN N‐dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. A hydrophophobic Gd(III) chelate reported in ref. [44] also dissolves in a variety of organic solvents and offers additional options for paramagnetic media that can be used for MagLev.
63. It should be possible to overcome this limitation using a number of strategies such as paramagnetic fluids with higher density and/or higher magnetic susceptibility as well as stronger magnetic fields.
64. It should be possible to improve the levitation of small objects by using higher gradients of the magnetic field e.g. by positioning magnets much more closely together.
