Aerodynamic levitation
open-in-new
<p>Aerodynamic <a href="/facts/Levitation_(physics)/CgRXyEcu">levitation</a> is the use of gas pressure to levitate materials so that they are no longer in physical contact with any container. In scientific experiments this removes contamination and nucleation issues associated with physical contact with a container. </p>
