Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test ...

Abstract: The document specifies the service conditions, system structure, function requirements, performance requirements, test rules, and test methods for the levitation system of Electromagnetic ...

The RTV 31 hovertrain was expected to be even faster than Japan’s bullet train, but now it is rotting beside a railway line ...

Abstract: The permanent magnet guideways (PMGs), serving as the sole magnetic field source for the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) pinning maglev system, exert a profound influence on the ...

A new type of sensor that levitates dozens of glass microparticles could revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of sensing, laying the foundation for better autonomous vehicles, navigation and even ...

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to collapse into a clump in mid-air. Physicists at the Institute of Science and ...
