Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

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 ...

Researchers may have unlocked the potential for gravity-free technology. A new study published in Applied Physics Letters highlights how researchers have made huge breakthroughs in magnetic levitation ...

The Boston-based start-up is raising funds to develop its HyperDrive system for new aircraft, including eVTOL vehicles. Maglev Aero says magnetic levitation technology already in use with high-speed ...

Levitating and spinning diamonds might sound like science fiction, but they’re now part of a bold effort to study the foundations of the universe. In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have ...

The role magnets play in physics research is a critical one, helping guide the trajectory of particle beams that allow for high-speed collisions and groundbreaking discoveries. But not all magnets are ...

Sculpture must defy gravity, says Alberto Collie, and by using magnets he performs feats of levitation with objects made of aluminum, copper and magnesium. Though Collie’s magnetized sculptures do not ...

Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...
