Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Magnetic levitation (MagLev) technologies are rapidly evolving, offering transformative methodologies in materials characterisation, precision engineering and process automation. By balancing ...

Brazil is taking another step forward in the development of a magnetic levitation train (maglev). These futuristic vehicles, which are still rare worldwide, hover a few centimeters above the track, ...

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 ...

When two magnets are placed facing each other with the same poles, they repel each other, and if you place one magnet under the other, it is possible to make one magnet float. However, simply ...

An all-superconducting magnet built by Chinese scientists has generated a world-record steady magnetic field of 35.1 tesla, about 700,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field. The development ...

The world is experiencing a green revolution in energy, but wind power has not yet fully tapped into the residential homes market. While everybody is putting solar panels on the roofs of their homes, ...

Nowadays, we use batteries to store energy, however, this way is very inefficient because overcoming friction and gravity takes most of the energy. But Japan presents a very innovative solution which ...

Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE National Railway Network, has joined hands with IronLev, a high-tech Italian company, for a first-of-its-kind magnetic levitation (maglev) trial in ...

Magnets are a lot more than just refrigerator decorations or components in science kits. These fascinating objects, which have been known since ancient times, are central to a wide array of ...
