Manipulation via MagLev

The magnetic levitation method, characterized by its simplicity, absence of sample magnetization requirements, and convenient operation, has found extensive applications not only in fields such as chemical analysis, biological measurements, and performance characterization but also in the non-contact manipulation of small-sized weakly magnetic materials. The ability to manipulate samples, whether at macroscopic, mesoscopic, or microscopic scales, forms the foundation and key to scientific research and development. In recent years, non-contact manipulation and performance characterization techniques for various materials have gained popularity due to the potential impact of physical contact-based clamping tools on the surface morphology or properties of materials. Consequently, theoretical research and technological applications related to non-contact manipulation have experienced significant advancements. Currently, several forms of non-contact manipulation techniques are available for the manipulation of small-sized samples or structures.
