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 ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

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 ...

US scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the forces of quantum mechanics, and say they might use it to help make tiny nanotechnology machines. They said they had ...

Researchers have developed a novel electromagnetic cell sorting technique for separating different cell types.

Scientists have overcome a major hurdle in the quest to levitate large objects with ultrasound. Previously, researchers had struggled to float an object larger than the wavelength without being very ...

Scientists are continuing to experiment with levitating small objects using sonic tractor beams, or sound waves, which can suspend and move objects mid-air. A new video of the technology shows small ...
