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 and actuators represent a significant advance in precision motion control, utilising magnetic forces to suspend and manoeuvre objects without physical contact. These ...

China's aerospace engineers are combining magnetic levitation and vacuum tube technology to build a train that travels nearly ...

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 ...

Five members of the Cornell Hyperloop project team competed at the 2025 Hyperloop Global Conference, hosted at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, this past summer. Among top international teams, ...

China has pushed magnetic levitation technology into a new speed class after a dramatic test. On Thursday, state broadcaster CCTV aired footage showing researchers from the National University of ...

At company launch time, a technology demonstrator of the U-shaped passive ferromagnetic levitation technology had already been built and tested under lab conditions. This was followed in 2018 with a ...

The moon has one-sixth the gravity of the earth so magnetic levitation can use 35 times less power to do the same work. NASA will leverage this to make thin sheets that can rolled out to make lunar ...

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 ...

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 ...
