A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

Levitating chairs from the Jetsons still have a few years of becoming a commercial product though they are fun to think about. One such curious inventor, [Conor Patrick], took a deep dive into the ...

Researchers are developing a new transmission mechanism with no touching parts, based on magnetic forces which prevent friction and wear and make lubrication unnecessary. It can be applied in space ...

China loves its trains. Cannot get enough train. Especially magnetic levitation types. Already home to the fastest commercial train, and laying claim to more high-speed rail than any other nation, ...

Five members of the Cornell Hyperloop project team competed at the 2025 Hyperloop Global Conference, hosted at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, this past summer. Among top international teams, ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A new experiment that reproduces the magnetic fields of the Earth and other planets has yielded its first significant results. The findings confirm that its unique approach has ...

Korea has begun operating unmanned magnetic levitation (maglev) trains on a track to Incheon International Airport, becoming the third nation after Japan and China to commercialize the next-generation ...

Many tourists don't realize this until they arrive, but Miami International Airport is located on the mainland of Florida, while Miami Beach is its own separate city, which technically lies on a ...
