At the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Florida, scientists run a 45-tesla magnet, nearly 1 million times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field. It can pull objects in, slow falling metal, ...

Lenz’s Law is one of those physics tricks that look like magic if you don’t understand what’s happening. [Seth Robinson] was inspired by the way eddy currents cause a cylindrical neodymium magnet to ...

This video explores the science behind a floating globe that appears to defy gravity using magnetic levitation. It explains how magnetic fields and precise balance allow the object to hover and rotate ...

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 ...

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 ...
