Magnetic levitation: New material offers potential for unlocking gravity-free technology
Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without any physical contact or mechanical support.
The most common type of levitation occurs through magnetic fields. Objects such as superconductors or diamagnetic materials (materials repelled by a magnetic field) can be made to float above magnets to develop advanced sensors for various scientific and everyday uses.
Prof. Jason Twamley, head of the unit, and his team of OIST researchers and international collaborators have designed a floating platform within a vacuum using graphite and magnets. Remarkably, this levitating platform operates without relying on external power sources and can assist in the development of ultra-sensitive sensors for highly precise and efficient measurements. Their results have been published in the journal Applied Physics Letters.

沖縄県の企業はOISTに学ぶべき!
OISTでは〝学校=法人〟に予算が出されるのではなく〝個人=教授〟に全額5年間完全委託で出され自由に研究ができる。
大学生ではなく5年制博士課程大学院生と269人の研究者で、大学院生の60%が外国人です。
運営経費の92%が沖縄県の振興予算で研究が行われ��OISTから中小企業が学ぶべき重要な点は・・・
「今すぐに役に立つ/目先の利益」を求める事業と「基礎を徹底的に追求する事業」を明確に分けることである。
