It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Can this object really levitate and float on its own? In this video, we put a mysterious levitation experiment to the test, struggling through trial and error until we finally get it to balance, hover ...

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, ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...

Stanford Medicine researchers invent an electromagnetic device that can gently sort different types of cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom ...
