Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

Permanent magnet magnetic levitation (PMFL) system has the characteristics of zero-power levitation, strong load-carrying capacity and self-stabilization, so it has obvious advantages in the ...

The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...
