When we were all little kids, our earliest “science is cool” discoveries usually revolve around magnets. After all, everyone had a magnet or two lying around their house. For that kid in us all, the ...

When one thinks of magnetic levitation, or maglev, one generally thinks of insanely fast floating trains or possibly even levitating cans and bottles. Well, scientists are reporting the development of ...

Using magnets to propel trains is not a new technology but it is still far from being perfected or even just implemented on a large scale. There are currently only four operating systems in the world ...

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

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 ...

Magnetic levitation technologies and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems represent a transformative advancement in transportation and industrial applications. These systems utilise the principles ...
