If you’re like us, when you first started grappling with the refrigerator magnets, you tried to make one hover motionlessly over another. We tried to position one magnet over another by pitting ...

When the applied magnetic field alternates with a frequency of 310 hertz, the robots can hover. At 340 Hz, they accelerate upward. The researchers could steer the robots laterally by adjusting the ...

The current model features four “hover engines” with magnets coordinating to generate a concentrated field, which then generates an opposing field in a conductive material below, in the floor.

The bumblebee-inspired robot is less than a centimeter wide and can hover, change direction, and hit small targets. Like a bumblebee moving from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot ...

While monorails may seem like a retro creation, this futuristic version will use cutting edge technology to see two-person pods suspended from magnetic tracks, so they appear to hover. The company ...
