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 ...

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 ...

Stanford Medicine researchers invent an electromagnetic device that can gently sort different types of cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom ...

A research team from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), on Friday, announced that it had achieved a major milestone in levitation technology by eliminating eddy-current damping in ...

Magnetic fields can also be used to levitate objects that are not specifically attached to magnets, but this requires very strong fields. In 1997, scientists were able to levitate a frog using a ...

GRAVITY Universe Time Clock uses magnetic levitation to create an illusion of time orbiting like a planet in space.
