Researchers may have unlocked the potential for gravity-free technology. A new study published in Applied Physics Letters highlights how researchers have made huge breakthroughs in magnetic levitation ...

In a new study out of Japan, researchers have demonstrated the ability to use a laser to control the motion of a magnetically levitating graphite disk. Laser moves graphite disk in the direction of ...

Magnetic levitation technologies and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems represent a transformative advancement in transportation and industrial applications. These systems utilise the principles ...

The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...

Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make ...

For her birthday, assistant professor of radiology Gozde Durmus received an unusual present: the power to control cell levitation. The gift, while exciting, wasn’t necessarily a surprise. Durmus and ...

Researchers have come up with a new and improved way to levitate objects using sound waves alone, an impressive feat of mixed-reality technology that could pave the way for some seriously futuristic ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

Physicists have figured out how to move an object in three dimensions without the need for any physical contact, just by the clever use of magnets. Magnetic Levitation, MagLev for short, is the ...

General Motors is looking to patent a magnetic levitation system that would replace conventional seat adjusters. As described in a patent application filed by GM with the United States Patent and ...
