Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make ...

A scientist has created a revolutionary wireless light bulb that levitates and has a staggering lifetime of 22 years. The 'Flyte' levitating light bulb cleverly uses magnets to float in the air and ...

China’s maglev train, developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), has set a new speed record surpassing its previous record of 623 km/h (387 miles per hour). Though the ...

Making its debut at Milan Design Week, where function often takes a back seat to form, Audio-Technica’s new Hotaru turntable manages to balance both. The upper section not only floats above the base ...

I was out to lunch with a couple friends, brainstorming ideas for fun projects when one of them says “Wouldn’t it be cool if we could build a working gravity gun?”. We all immediately concurred that ...

A new "tractor beam" can levitate large objects in midair, using only sound. So far, researchers have floated spheres as large as 0.6 inches (16 millimeters) in diameter and moved orbs as large as 0.8 ...

This means that China could soon have a train that is as fast as a plane. The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has claimed that its new magnetically levitated (maglev) train ...
