With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

The new levitating rotor works because of its rotational symmetry. Unlike plates that move up and down in varying magnetic fields, the spinning rotor stays within a constant magnetic flux. This ...

STORY: A UK startup is using soundwaves to make objects levitate in midair. And London-based AcoustoFab says it's "acoustic levitation" is not just a neat trick. It could also have commercial ...
