In science, I would ask, is "diamagnetism" correctly explained by terming it "the property of any substance whereby it turns itself, when freely suspended, at right angles to the magnetic meridian.".    From Wordnik.com.  [Notes and Queries, Number 70, March 1, 1851 A Medium of Inter-communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, etc.] Reference

Professor Main, head of physics at the University of Nottingham, worked on a project to levitate a frog using an effect called diamagnetism: ‘By changing the energy of electrons whizzing around in the nuclei of atoms, you create a force that acts on a molecular level.    From Wordnik.com.  [The silliest thing I read last week - The Panda's Thumb] Reference

If we present to it the vibrating body, it will be repelled, and we shall obtain the results known by the name of diamagnetism.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 315, January 14, 1882] Reference

And, moreover, they have the power of exciting fresh whirls in neighboring conductors, and of repelling them according to the laws of diamagnetism.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 275, April 9, 1881] Reference

In this way Professor Bjerknes has been able to reproduce analogues of all the phenomena of magnetism and diamagnetism, those phenomena which may be classed as effects of induction being directly reproduced, while those which may be classed as effects of mechanical action, and resulting in change of place, are analogous inversely.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 488, May 9, 1885] Reference

And the results support the theories which attribute magnetism and diamagnetism to causes of a different nature.    From Wordnik.com.  [Pierre Curie] Reference

Whether diamagnetism, like magnetism, was a polar force, was in those days a subject of the most lively contention.    From Wordnik.com.  [Fragments of science, V. 1-2] Reference

Among the most important are the discovery of magneto-electric induction, of the law of electro-chemical decomposition, of the magnetization of light, and of diamagnetism.    From Wordnik.com.  [Introductory Note] Reference

In his well known theory of magnetism P. Langevin, in 1905, took into account the Curie law and arrived again, theoretically, at the difference between the origins of diamagnetism and paramagnetism.    From Wordnik.com.  [Pierre Curie] Reference

The object of this discourse is to enquire whether the force of diamagnetism, which manifests itself as a repulsion of certain bodies by the poles of a magnet, is to be ranged as a polar force, beside that of magnetism; or as an unpolar force, beside that of gravitation.    From Wordnik.com.  [Fragments of science, V. 1-2] Reference

Bjerknes 'experiments go, without an exception); and if by any means this inversion could be reinverted, all the phenomena of magnetism and diamagnetism could be exactly reproduced by hydrodynamical analogues; there would thus be grounds for forming a theory of magnetism on the basis of mechanical phenomena, and a very important link in the chain of the correlation of the physical forces would be supplied.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 488, May 9, 1885] Reference
