Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

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

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 ...

A detailed experimental analysis explains the forces by which a spinning magnet can cause another magnet to levitate in midair. An experiment with off-the-shelf components uses a magnet glued to the ...

Electrons inside a diamond have given a floating, centimeter-sized device a quantum nudge, opening a new path toward testing ...

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 ...

I saw the news that Tesla's new Roadster can float in the air.In the announcement on October 15, 2026, the car jumped into ...

Cooling a small floating object to near absolute zero could reveal quantum behavior at a macroscopic level. One way to achieve this cooldown is by coupling the object’s motion to its magnetic spins.

The science pros at TKOR levitate objects using the Coanda effect, demonstrating physics in a mesmerizing and gravity-defying experiment. Vivek Ramaswamy breaks unwanted record in Ohio race against ...

Newswise — Although scientists have been able to levitate specific types of material, a pair of UChicago undergraduate physics students helped take the science to a new level. Third-year Frankie Fung ...

General Motors is looking to patent a magnetic levitation system that would replace conventional seat adjusters. As described in a patent application filed by GM with the United States Patent and ...

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 ...
