Non-magnetic objects induced to move by electromagnets (Nature News and Views)

Congratulations to MIE's very own Eric Diller for this recent publication in Nature! A set of electromagnets has been used to move metal objects without touching them, even though the objects are not magnetic. This method could potentially be used like a ‘tractor beam’ to move hazardous objects in space.
