Here’s an impressive example of a completely home built magnetic levitation setup… with wireless power transmission to boot! [Samer] built this from scratch and it features two main sub-systems, a ...

Yes, everyone loves springs. But a mass hanging vertically on a spring is a great example of stable equilibrium. Why does this produce stable equilibrium? Let's start with a diagram of a mass hanging ...

Recently, I finished another simple version of my electromagnetic levitation demo device that levitates a small object under an electromagnet. What makes it different from my earlier model is the ...

Three days ago on October 21, 2014 it was announced to the world the Back to the Future hoverboard was real. It’s a Kickstarter, of course, and it’s trending towards a $5 Million dollar payday for the ...

In a remarkable development that has left the scientific community astounded, a magnetic material has been discovered that exhibits levitation. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize our ...

A levitating magnetic microrobot autonomously sorts sub-millimeter particles by weight in 3D environments, enabling precise, contamination-free handling in biomedical and manufacturing applications.

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers working ...

In a radical move, researchers have made the most significant stride yet toward unlocking almost inexhaustible sources of green power. This is from OpenStar Technologies, a New Zealand company that ...

The idea of levitating off the ground has been a staple of science fiction dreams and human imagination since time immemorial. While we don't have our hoverboards just yet, we do have the very real ...
