In a study commissioned by NASA , a research squad at the University of Missouri has made a black eye levitate , using nothing but magnetic fields . As a result , the poor mouse floats in mid - air , marvel where the ground fit .
The researcher put the three - workweek - sure-enough mouse in a specially plan chamber then applied an external magnetized field . The field lifts up all of the water inside the footling mouse ’s body , apparently with no ominous event .
Well , there is one ominous effect : during levitation , the mouse was visibly confused , scrambling around to endeavor to feel a bulwark or the solid ground . The event of all of that scrambling was that the shiner began to spin wildly in the apparently zero - solemnity sleeping accommodation . The next test subject was given a mild downer to prevent this probably very difficult to watch freak out .

Apparently , after only a few hour in the niggling levitation cage , the mice were full able to acclimate to their novel float land , eating and drinking normally .
All of this black eye - floating is in the name of science , of track . The team is running long term studies , set to be publish in Advances in Space Research , on os loss in zero gravity environments . scientist have previously levitated alive frogs and bug , but these levitating mice intend that scientists can observe the effects of lightness on a more human - similar creature . The squad seems not to realize that an anti - gravity computer mouse is far more interesting than a microgravity subject area , but hopefully there are more cute floating animals in our futurity .
