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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The company has partnered with another Boston-based start-up, Maglev Aero, to replace electric motors. Transcend Air plans to install MagLev Aero's HyperDrive magnetic levitation technology as part of ...

Austrian researchers have made an acoustic levitation breakthrough allowing them to levitate and manipulate several objects ...

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to collapse into a clump in mid-air. Physicists at the Institute of Science and ...

CHICAGO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - U.S. scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the strange forces of quantum mechanics, and said on Wednesday they might use it to help make ...
