Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

Magnetic levitation trains, better known as maglev trains, have recently achieved a staggering speed of 800 miles per hour.

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 ...

Researchers from the Southwest Jiaotong University in China have developed cars that use magnetic levitation technology to float above a track. The eight vehicles were recently tested in Jiangsu along ...

Recent advancements in magnetic-levitation (maglev) technology harbor the potential to radically transform the landscape of the freight industry. By integrating maglev technology into existing freight ...

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool. We don’t know about you, but merely walking past the tackiest gadget shop, the displays of levitating and ...

General Motors is looking to patent a magnetic levitation system that would replace conventional seat adjusters. As described in a patent application filed by GM with the United States Patent and ...

New video from SCTL Korea room temperature superconductor experimenters claimed to shows a very strong full levitation effect. Full levitation would be evidence of the Meissner effect found only in ...

SINCE the 1960s, transportation industry planners have sought an energy-efficient design for a train that can glide through air at speeds up to 500 kilometers per hour. This type of train, called a ...
