From the Bronze age to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, the discovery and development of new materials has been a driving force in human history.

To qualify as a superconductor, a material should exhibit zero electric resistance as well as full levitation on the magnetic field in the superconducting state. The Korean team claims that ...

A rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) is now being used by an Oxfordshire-based company for its superconducting properties ...

The most common type of levitation occurs through magnetic fields. Objects such as superconductors or diamagnetic materials (materials repelled by a magnetic field) can be made to float above ...

Superconductors already play an active role ... In particular, materials with magnetic elements, or those that exhibit “magnetic ordering,” have begun to emerge as being important for the ...

Superconductors already play an active role ... In particular, materials with magnetic elements, or those that exhibit "magnetic ordering," have begun to emerge as being important for the ...

Understand the basic superconductor parameters: critical temperature, critical current density, critical magnetic field ... communications and other microwave device applications, and levitation for ...

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool ... and rotating objects always catches our eye. Superconductors aside, these devices are pretty ...

Magnetic levitation has not quite revolutionized the world of transit the way some of us might have hoped. It has, however, proven useful to [mrdiytechmagic], who has put the technology to grand ...

The expulsion of magnetic fields makes superconductors ideal for applications such as magnetic levitation and high-precision magnetic field sensors. Quantum fluids, particularly superconductors, play ...
