Abstract
A method for self-aligning diamagnetic materials includes contacting first and second magnets together other along a contact line so as to generate a diametric magnetization that is perpendicular to the contact line. A diamagnetic rod is positioned with respect to the first and second magnets to levitate above the contact line of the first and second magnets.
