Want to build a magnetic levitator in under two hours? With a total of 7 parts, including the coil, it just cannot get simpler than what [How-ToDo] shows here! It is not only an extremely simple ...

We are big fans of the little desktop magnetic levitation setups that float a small object on a magnet. As [3D Printed Life] points out, they look like magic. He was surprised that the commercial ...

Magnetic levitation (MagLev) technologies are rapidly evolving, offering transformative methodologies in materials characterisation, precision engineering and process automation. By balancing ...

A group has created a levitating quadcopter consisting of 4 motors and 4 spinning magnetic arrays. By spinning the magnets over a copper sheet, the 105-lb quadcopter levitates. The magnetic levitation ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

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 ...

In a new study out of Japan, researchers have demonstrated the ability to use a laser to control the motion of a magnetically levitating graphite disk. Laser moves graphite disk in the direction of ...

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 ...
