The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...

The moon has one-sixth the gravity of the earth so magnetic levitation can use 35 times less power to do the same work. NASA will leverage this to make thin sheets that can rolled out to make lunar ...

Deendayal Port Authority, Kandla, has successfully commissioned and tested an indigenously developed mobility solution for ...

Diamagnetism is a property of matter, superconductivity is a state of matter. Diamagnetism describes how a material reacts when plunged into a magnetic field. Paramagnetism is almost the same thing.

SHANGHAI, China -- The sleek white train zipped noiselessly out of a futuristic station in Shanghai, carrying Chinese and German leaders -- and hopes for a new era in railway technology. The world's ...

Hyperloop promises near supersonic ground travel using low pressure tubes and magnetic levitation. But building and operating ...

What do you get if you take some magnets, superconductors, and liquid nitrogen, and a slow-mo camera to film them with? This kind of magical footage is what. This little demonstration of magnetic ...
