Mice Levitated During One of NASA's Laboratory Experiment

NASA scientists proclaimed earlier this week that they have made several mice float in mid-air during one of their laboratory experiments.

The researchers used a device that stimulate variable levels of gravity, altering magnetic fields that levitated the mice. The device contains superconducting magnets that can generate a powerful magnetic field that allows levitation. In their first trial, they levitated a three-week-old mouse, weighing just 10 grams. The device ignited a magnetic force that pulled water inside the mouse. It appeared agitated and disoriented, seemingly trying to hold on to something. LiveScience.com reports. The research also proves to be significant to humans as mice having closer biological ties to humans, thus, the study could help in further research to counteract bone loss due to reduced gravity over long periods of time.
