Maglev: An abbreviation for magnetic levitation, referring to systems that suspend and propel objects using magnetic forces.

If you do it right, the object will reach equilibrium and hover near the sensor. Some students at Cornell University decided to implement the control loop to produce levitation using an Altera FPGA.

The wait to try Tesla’s robo-taxi service for most residents of Austin, Texas, not to mention investors and reporters, is ...

In principle, the electromagnetic levitation system controls the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet (L1) to levitate a small magnetic object in midair. The vertical position (air gap) of ...

Researchers at Caltech have designed a way to levitate and propel objects using only light, by creating specific nanoscale patterning on the objects' surfaces.

That of course means it can levitate above magnets, but only for a short time – the flow of electrical currents through the graphite causes energy loss that quickly makes the levitating object fall.

Physics 3D rabbit 'hologram' created by levitating screen using sound waves Sound waves can be used to keep an object hovering in the air, and a new technique works even in crowded spaces By ...

Researchers at Caltech have found a way to levitate and propel objects of practically any size or shape by using only light.
