Levitation isn't on the list of activities for most summer camps, but recently at Martin High School in Arlington, it was the focus. Outfitted with rubber aprons and safety goggles, high school ...

Electrons inside a diamond have given a floating, centimeter-sized device a quantum nudge, opening a new path toward testing ...

An innovative method of using levitation to perform ‘touchless’ chemical reactions has been developed by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers. Department of Chemistry Professor Ralf I. Kaiser ...

Today, many physicists are actively exploring how light could be used to link objects through quantum entanglement. By fully ...

The levitation of microscopic objects in vacuum and the control of their movements while they are suspended was first demonstrated several decades ago. Since then, various research groups have been ...

In quite an eerie feat, physicists have floated microscopic diamonds in midair using laser beams. Researchers have already used lasers to levitate extremely small particles, such as individual atoms, ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Physicists have known how to levitate water for more than 260 years. They just figured out how to levitate ice, too. By pushing a well-known physics phenomenon called the Leidenfrost effect to the ...
