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 ...

Researchers have come up with a new and improved way to levitate objects using sound waves alone, an impressive feat of mixed-reality technology that could pave the way for some seriously futuristic ...

A levitating magnetic microrobot autonomously sorts sub-millimeter particles by weight in 3D environments, enabling precise, contamination-free handling in biomedical and manufacturing applications.

For her birthday, assistant professor of radiology Gozde Durmus received an unusual present: the power to control cell levitation. The gift, while exciting, wasn’t necessarily a surprise. Durmus and ...

Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make ...

US start-up aerospace company Maglev Aero has revealed details about its development of a new breed of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft powered by a magnetically levitated, ...

Diamagnetic levitation systems employ the unique properties of diamagnetic materials, such as pyrolytic graphite, in conjunction with permanent magnets to achieve stable, contactless levitation at ...
