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 ...

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 ...

Japan, renowned for its technological innovations, is on the brink of revolutionizing the automotive industry with the ...

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 ...

Do bullet trains actually need wheels? The answer isn't a simple no. Discover which high-speed trains still roll on rubber tires and why they do it.

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 ...
