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 ...

A magnetic-levitation device can sort viruses and bacteria that naturally float in the air, making them ready for further analysis.

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 ...

The moon has one-sixth the gravity of the earth so magnetic levitation can use 35 times less power to do the same work. NASA will leverage this to make thin sheets that can rolled out to make lunar ...

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

A sculpture that fuses both science and wonderment will be unveiled as part of Tallahassee's effort to cement its status as the "Magnetic Capital of the World." The piece — a magnetic-powered ...

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 ...

It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a particular height. With no physical contact, an invisible force directs certain cells to float ...
