- Abstract:
The article offers information on a study, published in September 3 issue of journal "Nature", which suggests objects can float along the bottom of the levitated liquid as well as along the top. Topics discussed include effect by injecting a layer of gas underneath either silicone oil or glycerol; role of consequence of antigravity effect in float of objects; and experience of a skyward, buoyant force whose strength depends on the amount of space an object takes up in the liquid.
