Magnetic levitation systems and actuators represent a significant advance in precision motion control, utilising magnetic forces to suspend and manoeuvre objects without physical contact. These ...

Magnetic levitation (Maglev) is well known for its use in high-speed rail networks, but could also be applied at smaller scales in medicine and electronics. To do so, researchers must be able to ...

SINCE the 1960s, transportation industry planners have sought an energy-efficient design for a train that can glide through air at speeds up to 500 kilometers per hour. This type of train, called a ...
