Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

Adding another item on the list of things you probably shouldn’t be trying at home, we got [Brainiac75] giving magnetic levitation a shot using an unmodified induction cooktop and aluminium foil.

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 ...

A detailed experimental analysis explains the forces by which a spinning magnet can cause another magnet to levitate in midair. An experiment with off-the-shelf components uses a magnet glued to the ...

Researchers have shown that a pair of vertically arranged electromagnets can levitate and steer a magnetic robot inside a ...

A tiny spinning disc levitating above magnets in Singapore kept turning for more than 10 hours after researchers switched off the power driving it. That level of persistence marks the lowest energy ...

Lenz’s Law is one of those physics tricks that look like magic if you don’t understand what’s happening. [Seth Robinson] was inspired by the way eddy currents cause a cylindrical neodymium magnet to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Levitating Cybertruck model isn’t just a static replica; it’s a dynamic display piece that floats above a magnetic base. This ...

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 ...

A new gravimeter is compact and stable and can detect the daily solar and lunar gravitational oscillations that are responsible for the tides. Not just the oceans. The Sun and Moon have major effects ...

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 ...
