When two magnets are placed facing each other with the same poles, they repel each other, and if you place one magnet under the other, it is possible to make one magnet float. However, simply ...

Three days ago on October 21, 2014 it was announced to the world the Back to the Future hoverboard was real. It’s a Kickstarter, of course, and it’s trending towards a $5 Million dollar payday for the ...

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

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool. We don’t know about you, but merely walking past the tackiest gadget shop, the displays of levitating and ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Quad-cotter floating in the air by "rotating magnet" rather than "rotating wing" was created. This mechanism"Hyper loop concept" running at 1,200 km / hAlthough it does not fly high, it is also used ...

There is a simple way to levitate magnets – and physicists are beginning to understand how it works. The technique could have applications for robotics in the future. In 2021, Hamdi Ucar – then at ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

Quantum physicists in Oriol Romero-Isart’s research group in Innsbruck show in two current publications that, despite Earnshaw’s theorem, nanomagnets can be stably levitated in an external static ...

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 ...
