Rice University researchers have used a magnetically levitated particle to search for ultraheavy dark matter, extending the ...
A magnet the thickness of a few sheets of paper floats in mid-air with ...
Measuring faint magnetic fields is useful in a number of areas, including mapping brain activity, monitoring hearts and probing fundamental physics. Typically, picking up such weak signals requires ...
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 ...
Lenz’s Law is one of those physics tricks that look like magic if you don’t understand what’s happening. [Seth Robinson] was inspired by the way eddy currents cause a cylindrical neodymium magnet to ...
Magnetic levitation is a beautiful thing to watch. Seeing small objects wobble about while seemingly hovering in thin air never gets old. If you want something suitably distracting in this vein for ...
A YouTube channel filmed a soap bubble crystalizing into an icy globe while on a levitating magnet, and it is fascinating to watch. When we were all little kids, our earliest “science is cool” ...
