A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

China loves its trains. Cannot get enough train. Especially magnetic levitation types. Already home to the fastest commercial train, and laying claim to more high-speed rail than any other nation, ...

China's push for high-speed transportation has taken a major leap forward with its experimental T-Flight maglev train. Designed to reach record-breaking speeds, this levitating train could ...

Researchers are developing a new transmission mechanism with no touching parts, based on magnetic forces which prevent friction and wear and make lubrication unnecessary. It can be applied in space ...

Five members of the Cornell Hyperloop project team competed at the 2025 Hyperloop Global Conference, hosted at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, this past summer. Among top international teams, ...

Let’s face it, levitating anything is pretty fascinating — especially when you think there should be wires. This project puts a new spin on magnetic levitation by using a PID controller to levitate a ...

Magnets keep strings suspended without anchor points, and pushing a magnet piece bends notes, so you get expressive sounds with simple moves.
