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 demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

Diamagnetic levitation systems employ the unique properties of diamagnetic materials, such as pyrolytic graphite, in conjunction with permanent magnets to achieve stable, contactless levitation at ...

A levitating magnetic microrobot autonomously sorts sub-millimeter particles by weight in 3D environments, enabling precise, contamination-free handling in biomedical and manufacturing applications.

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 ...
