Diamagnetism is a property of matter, superconductivity is a state of matter. Diamagnetism describes how a material reacts when plunged into a magnetic field. Paramagnetism is almost the same thing.

A research team from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), on Friday, announced that it had achieved a major milestone in levitation technology by eliminating eddy-current damping in ...

Watch the full experiment as tension builds, magnets fight each other, and the object finally locks into place in a surprisingly satisfying moment. If you love physics experiments, magnetic levitation ...

Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...

New video from SCTL Korea room temperature superconductor experimenters claimed to shows a very strong full levitation effect. Full levitation would be evidence of the Meissner effect found only in ...

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 ...

Levitating and spinning diamonds might sound like science fiction, but they’re now part of a bold effort to study the foundations of the universe. In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have ...

Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study proposes looking for it from space, using a satellite containing a ...

Dark matter search: Team co-leader Christopher Tunnell is an associate professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University. (Courtesy: Jeff Fitlow/Rice) A tiny neodymium particle suspended inside a ...
