Discover how magnetic levitation technology powers high-speed maglev trains, enabling frictionless travel and impressive ...

A diamagnetic substance is slightly repelled by magnetic fields. With a strong enough magnet, the diamagnetic force can ...

China is already home to one of the world's largest high-speed rail networks, and this new train has attracted global ...

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 ...

Buried beneath Japan’s mountains, a 500 km/h levitating train is being built to connect Tokyo and Osaka in under an hour. Using superconducting magnets and linear motors, this SCMaglev system operates ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
