Tiny levitator: In this photo of the experiment, the arrow marks the position of the 48µm-diameter particle. Courtesy: W Wieczorek It might not look like much, but this tiny levitating particle could ...

Five members of the Cornell Hyperloop project team competed at the 2025 Hyperloop Global Conference, hosted at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, this past summer. Among top international teams, ...

Quantum physicists in Oriol Romero-Isart’s research group in Innsbruck show in two current publications that, despite Earnshaw’s theorem, nanomagnets can be stably levitated in an external static ...

Magnetic levitation (MagLev) technologies are rapidly evolving, offering transformative methodologies in materials characterisation, precision engineering and process automation. By balancing ...

OpenStar Technologies, a New Zealand-based fusion startup, has reported producing its first plasma in a levitated dipole ...

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool. We don’t know about you, but merely walking past the tackiest gadget shop, the displays of levitating and ...

We are big fans of the little desktop magnetic levitation setups that float a small object on a magnet. As [3D Printed Life] points out, they look like magic. He was surprised that the commercial ...

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 ...

REBCO: melt-processed REBa2Cu3O7−δ (RE: rare earth, REBCO) superconductors can be magnetized to a strong bulk magnet and have high critical current density JC. Superconducting magnets have been an ...

Levitation may look like magic, but there are a number of scientific tricks behind it. Magnetic systems are usually behind gimmicky consumer products like floating lightbulbs and speakers, optical ...
