Do bullet trains actually need wheels? The answer isn't a simple no. Discover which high-speed trains still roll on rubber ...

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

Researchers have come up with a new and improved way to levitate objects using sound waves alone, an impressive feat of mixed-reality technology that could pave the way for some seriously futuristic ...

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 ...

The company has partnered with another Boston-based start-up, Maglev Aero, to replace electric motors. Transcend Air plans to install MagLev Aero's HyperDrive magnetic levitation technology as part of ...

Researchers in Tokyo have put a new twist on the use of sound to suspend objects in air. They've used ultrasonic standing waves to trap pieces of wood, metal, and water – and even move them around.

Ultrasonic sound waves have been used to levitate objects in crowded rooms to make hologram-like displays. Such acoustic levitation was previously only practical in empty spaces, but a new algorithm ...

Forward-looking: Japanese researchers have developed a novel technique to levitate and manipulate small objects from reflective surfaces using only sound waves. In testing with a 3-millimeter ...

CHICAGO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - U.S. scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the strange forces of quantum mechanics, and said on Wednesday they might use it to help make ...

THE starship disengages its warp drive and draws up alongside an enemy destroyer. This civilisation doesn’t look friendly and the destroyer appears to be powering up its weapons systems. The captain ...
