Levitation sounds like science fiction — until you see it happen with nothing but moving water. This video breaks down hydrodynamic levitation, where fluid flow creates pressure changes strong enough ...

Which magnetic building block sets are best? Magnetic building block sets accomplish something that very few toys marketed as educational can actually accomplish: they’re as much fun as they are ...

There's nothing like a beautiful arrangement of flowers in a glass vase to enhance a table centerpiece or add life to a room. But when water sits stagnant for too long, the vase can become grimy.

Physicists have long sought invisibility, from light to magnetic fields. Donald Trump threatens to terminate broadcast licenses of major networks Heroic survivor 'riddled with bullets' after stopping ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design, implementation, feedback stabilization, and experimental validation of a novel permanent magnet levitation system. Conventionally, magnetic levitation systems ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

Sound is energy carried by vibrations moving through matter. It is something we hear, not something we expect to lift, hold, or precisely control physical objects. And yet, for decades, scientists ...

The White House sent a nasty message to Sabrina Carpenter on Tuesday, shortly after the pop star objected to the Trump administration using her music to soundtrack a montage of ICE arrests. “Here’s a ...

The science behind a bullet train's incredible speed has advanced to the point that they no longer need wheels to stay on the tracks. There are some magnetic trains that do use rubber wheels until ...

Farmers have an unusual but lifesaving trick up their sleeves: they feed magnets to their cows. It sounds odd at first, yet cow magnets play a real role in livestock health on farms around the world.
