In a remarkable development that has left the scientific community astounded, a magnetic material has been discovered that exhibits levitation. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize our ...

Magnetic sculptures are a sure sign of chronic geekiness. You just need to have something levitating in your abode to prove you live in a place where science and fantasy coincide. Seen below is a ...

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 ...

If interstate construction isn’t your thing, how about some magnetic levitation train construction? The privately funded magnet train (or maglev) planned to link the Orlando International Airport and ...

Physicists may be one step closer to achieving a form of clean energy known as nuclear fusion, which is what happens deep inside the cores of stars. A recent experiment with a giant levitating magnet ...

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 ...

Fusion power has been held up by our inability to get the reaction hot and dense enough to self-sustain, or maintain its own temperature without externally-provided heat. By studying the magnetic ...

Are you still holding out for a future full of flying cars? There’s one thing you probably haven’t thought about. Where do you think you’re going to park it? In your flying house, of course! In all ...

A team of scientists in France has shown that it is possible to control a paramagnetic liquid drop using a magnetic field at room temperature. Using a drop of liquid oxygen, they show that the drop’s ...

A form of magnetic levitation can separate living and dead cells without altering or damaging them in any way. The process could be used for everything from drug discovery to tissue engineering. Cells ...

Floating globes use magnetism to keep them afloat. For some globes, there’s a C-shaped apparatus that holds two different magnets — one above or below the globe and one inside the globe. The magnet ...
