A magnetic-levitation device can sort viruses and bacteria that naturally float in the air, making them ready for further analysis.

Stanford Medicine researchers invent an electromagnetic device that can gently sort different types of cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies. Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...
