The device was the first of its kind to test the levitated dipole concept and was funded by the US Department of Energy. [1] The machine was also part of a collaboration between the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and Columbia University, where another (non-levitated) dipole experiment, the Collisionless Terrella Experiment (CTX), was ...
The Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) The concept of the levitated dipole was first realized when Jay Kesner of MIT and Michael Mauel of Columbia University made a joint proposal to test the concept in 1997. [3] This led to the development of two experiments: the Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) at MIT and the Collisionless Terrella Experiment ...
A magnetically levitated (maglev) train departing Shanghai Pudong International Airport on the first commercial high-speed maglev line in the world. Magnetic levitation is in development for use for transportation systems. For example, the Maglev includes trains that are levitated by a large number of magnets. Due to the lack of friction on the ...
Levitated optomechanics is a field of mesoscopic physics which deals with the mechanical motion of mesoscopic particles which are optically or electrically or magnetically levitated. Through the use of levitation, it is possible to decouple the particle's mechanical motion exceptionally well from the environment.

Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation whereby a spinning magnet or array of magnets (typically as a top) is levitated via magnetic forces above another magnet or array of magnets, and stabilised by gyroscopic effect due to a spin rate that is neither too fast, nor too slow to allow for a necessary precession.
Diamagnetically levitated milli- and micro-robots offer precise control and minimal force noise, ensuring intrinsic stability and efficient zone control. Leveraging diamagnetic levitation, these robots experience reduced sliding friction and can achieve full levitation when paired with a diamagnetic layer, such as graphite, in the presence of a ...
