This video explores the science behind a floating globe that appears to defy gravity using magnetic levitation. It explains ...

Ferromagnets, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, are materials with a strong, spontaneous, and permanent magnetic field. Over 150 years ago, the physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell ...

Ultrasonic levitation is by now a familiar trick: one or more ultrasonic transducers create a standing wave, and small objects can be held in the nodes of this standing wave. With a sufficiently ...

What if hanging a picture no longer meant a drill, wall anchors, dust on the floor, and one more patch job later on? Argentine inventor Marco Agustín Secchi, 29, has developed Ironplac, a magnetizable ...
