Who doesn’t love magnets? They’re functional, mysterious, and at the heart of nearly every electric motor. They can make objects appear to defy gravity or move on their own. If you’re like us, when ...

In the world of magic, levitation looks like a simple spell. In movies and TV series, characters lift objects with a wave of their hand or a successful use of force. However, in the real world, ...

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 ...

Magnets aren’t magic, but sometimes you can do things with them to fool the uninitiated — like levitating. [Jonathan Lock] does that with his new maglev desk toy, that looks like at least a level 2 ...

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 frog, astronaut, and physicist walk into a… low-gravity research facility? Chinese scientists have recently developed an artificial moon setting that will be used to test technology and train ...

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 ...
