Researchers at China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) have accelerated a one-ton vehicle from a dead stop ...

China set a new maglev speed record after a 1.1-ton vehicle hit 435 mph in just two seconds on a short test track.

Abstract: For the purpose of better inhibiting the chattering phenomenon and elevating the control performance of the magnetic levitation system under multiple disturbances, a continuous integral ...

Abstract: The magnetic-levitation spacecraft is a potential solution to improve the attitude control accuracy of spacecraft in the future. However, if a single-rod fault occurs during the on-orbit ...

The T-Flight might eventually reach a speed of up to 1,243 mph (2,000 km/h), almost twice the speed of sound. Credit: Yuan Yi/Beijing Youth Daily/VCG. In a world where speed defines progress, China is ...

Sound is energy carried by vibrations moving through matter. It is something we hear, not something we expect to lift, hold, or precisely control physical objects. And yet, for decades, scientists ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

A new type of sensor that levitates dozens of glass microparticles could revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of sensing, laying the foundation for better autonomous vehicles, navigation and even ...

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to collapse into a clump in mid-air. Physicists at the Institute of Science and ...
