In quite an eerie feat, physicists have floated microscopic diamonds in midair using laser beams. Researchers have already used lasers to levitate extremely small particles, such as individual atoms, ...

Can this object really levitate and float on its own? In this video, we put a mysterious levitation experiment to the test, struggling through trial and error until we finally get it to balance, hover ...

Suspending soft, sticky or fragile objects between magnets may be a way to rotate and position them in 3-D space without needing to touch them. Manually manipulating these kinds of objects can damage ...

Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Levitation might seem like a superpower out of science fiction. But ...

Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...

Levitation techniques are no longer confined to the laboratory thanks to engineers who have developed an easier way for suspending matter in mid-air by developing a 3-D-printed acoustic levitator.

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...
