It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

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 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 ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

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 ...

A team of physicists at the Technical University of Denmark has found the reason a spinning magnet can cause a secondary magnet to levitate without the need for stabilization. In their paper published ...

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

Researchers from the Southwest Jiaotong University in China have developed cars that use magnetic levitation technology to float above a track. The eight vehicles were recently tested in Jiangsu along ...

China is racing to build a new kind of train that does not just rival jetliners, it threatens to redefine what “high speed” ...

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 ...

China is racing to redefine long-distance travel with a levitating bullet that aims to outrun the workhorse of global ...
