When we were all little kids, our earliest “science is cool” discoveries usually revolve around magnets. After all, everyone had a magnet or two lying around their house. For that kid in us all, the ...

Recent advancements in magnetic-levitation (maglev) technology harbor the potential to radically transform the landscape of the freight industry. By integrating maglev technology into existing freight ...

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

Suspending soft, sticky or fragile objects between magnets may be a way to rotate and position them in 3-D space without needing to touch them. Manually manipulating these kinds of objects can damage ...

Magnetic levitation technologies and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems represent a transformative advancement in transportation and industrial applications. These systems utilise the principles ...

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 ...

A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

If interstate construction isn’t your thing, how about some magnetic levitation train construction? The privately funded magnet train (or maglev) planned to link the Orlando International Airport and ...

Don’t settle for just a plain old picture frame when you can have a picture frame suspended in mid-air. This magnetic levitation device uses a magnetic field to suspend pretty much any metallic object ...
