A detailed experimental analysis explains the forces by which a spinning magnet can cause another magnet to levitate in midair. An experiment with off-the-shelf components uses a magnet glued to the ...

A team of physicists at the Technical University of Denmark has found the reason a spinning magnet can cause a secondary magnet to levitate without the need for stabilization. In their paper published ...

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 ...

The idea of levitating off the ground has been a staple of science fiction dreams and human imagination since time immemorial. While we don't have our hoverboards just yet, we do have the very real ...
