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 ...

Graphite has been known as a typical diamagnetic material and can be levitated in the strong magnetic field. Researchers have shown that the magnetically levitating pyrolytic graphite can be moved in ...

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 ...
