This effect is called ‘quantum levitation’ Maglev trains have been in development since before Luke Skywalker drove his first Land Speeder but, like personal rocket packs, the id... Read more
Spanish researchers have designed what they believe to be a new type of magnetic cloak, which shields objects from external magnetic fields, while at the same time preventing any magnetic in... Read more
It has long been thought that, even though light has electric and magnetic components, the effects of the magnetic field are so weak that they could effectively be ignored. Now researchers a... Read more
Stomach examinations may soon become more comfortable and less invasive with the development of a magnetically guided capsule endoscope. Jointly developed by Olympus and Siemens, the capsule... Read more
