In the world of magic, levitation looks like a simple spell. In movies and TV series, characters lift objects with a wave of their hand or a successful use of force. However, in the real world, ...

For her birthday, assistant professor of radiology Gozde Durmus received an unusual present: the power to control cell levitation. The gift, while exciting, wasn’t necessarily a surprise. Durmus and ...

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

Magnetic levitation systems and actuators represent a significant advance in precision motion control, utilising magnetic forces to suspend and manoeuvre objects without physical contact. These ...

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 ...

The transportation landscape is experiencing a remarkable shift with the emergence of maglev technology. These magnetic levitation trains hover above their tracks using powerful magnets, eliminating ...

Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make ...

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 ...
