Measurement of contact angles in a simulated microgravity environment generated by a large gradient magnetic field

In this study, we report the development and construction of a new setup that was specifically designed for use in a strongmagnetic field tomeasure the contact angle between a levitateddroplet and asolid surface. The application of the setup in a large gradientmagnetic field was tested, and the contact angles were readilymeasured.
