Abstract
Magnetic levitation makes a condition equivalent to non- or microgravity fo r diamagnetic materials and gives us an opportunity to do similar experimen ts as those planned for space projects. We have succeeded in the in situ ob servation of freezing of levitated water, crystal growth of some ionic crys tals in a levitated solution and melt of levitated glass without a crucible .
