Winter has already arrived in much of the northern hemisphere and with it snow. Folks at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada – which has already had a snowfall or two ...

Researchers in Russia, Latvia and the US have developed a scaffold-, label- and nozzle-free technology that can fabricate complex human tissue and organs within just 30 seconds. The formative ...

This phenomenon is known as "quantum levitation." It is a process in which scientists use the properties of quantum physics to levitate an object (specifically, a superconductor). See real ...

Physicists in Australia have become the first researchers to levitate a macroscopic object using lasers. The physicists used three lasers to form a levitational "tripod" that could hold a small mirror ...

A team of mechanical engineers from the University of Bristol has developed an easier way for suspending small matter in the air: they built an acoustic levitator with readily accessible electronics ...

Two undergraduate physics students at the University of Chicago recently led the discovery of a new method for levitating objects using heat. Fourth-year Frankie Fung and third-year Mykhaylo Usatyuk ...

You probably have seen this a thousand times: a liquid nitrogen-chilled, superconducting puck levitates over a large magnet or zooms back and forth on a magnetized track. However, if you flip the ...

This nonfiction graphic novel gives the history of three early 20th-century magicians and the invention of the standard levitation trick. It's claimed that “Entranced Fakir,” or “The Levitation of the ...
