In a levitation breakthrough, scientists have created a virtually frictionless, macroscale levitating disk that requires no ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers may have unlocked the potential for gravity-free technology. A new study published in Applied Physics Letters highlights how researchers have made huge breakthroughs in magnetic levitation ...

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 ...

Scientific sorcery? Japan achieves near-frictionless levitation on macroscopic rotor A research team from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), on Friday, announced that it had ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...
