Bookmark or Share- Physics Behind the Levitron - Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThere are two main properties that allow the Levitron to levitate stably. The first is the magnetic repulsion, which provides the force for levitation. The second are gyroscopic effects due to the spinning of the top, which account for the stability of the levitation. The Levitron consists of a base and a top.
- Levitodynamics: Levitation and control of microscopic objects ... - ScienceLevitation of micrometer-sized objects in vacuum was first demonstrated in the pioneering work of Arthur Ashkin in the 1970s. In the following decades, his work inspired the development of trapping and cooling of atoms and contributed to the rise of modern atomic physics.
- Levitation (paranormal) - WikipediaLevitation or transvection, in the paranormal or religious context, is the claimed ability to raise a human body or other object into the air by mystical means.
- Levitation (physics) - WikipediaLevitation (from Latin levitas, lit. 'lightness') [1] is the process by which an object is held aloft in a stable position, without mechanical support via any physical contact.
- How Quantum Levitation Works - ThoughtCoQuantum levitation as it is called is a process where scientists use the properties of quantum physics to levitate an object (specifically, a superconductor) over a magnetic source (specifically a quantum levitation track designed for this purpose).
