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 ...

A magnetic-levitation device can sort viruses and bacteria that naturally float in the air, making them ready for further analysis.

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 ...

Magnetic fluid dynamics in levitation systems encompasses the interplay between magnetic forces and fluidic properties to achieve stable, contactless support or motion of objects. Central to this ...

The device’s simple design could rival much more complex alternatives in biophysics research — and could even be used to search for dark matter. Scientists have turned a levitating magnet into a ...

In a remarkable development that has left the scientific community astounded, a magnetic material has been discovered that exhibits levitation. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize our ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

A diamagnetic substance is slightly repelled by magnetic fields. With a strong enough magnet, the diamagnetic force can override gravity, and the substance will float in the air. Graphite, the main ...
