Harnessing the immense power of nuclear fusion has long been a scientific challenge. While traditional fusion reactors use ...

Levitating Magnet Over a Superconductor: This image captures the Meissner effect, where a superconducting material cooled below its critical temperature repels the magnetic field of a levitating ...

Adam Fenster A magnet floats above a superconductor cooled with liquid ... to propel levitated trains - like the Maglev trains that "float" above the track in Japan and Shanghai, China.

Scientists from MIT have modeled an elusive superconductor using a much larger stand-in. By shaping atoms with lasers and magnets ... the solid material like oil floating on top of water.

Nuclear fusion has the potential to be far more efficient than nuclear fission and crucially safer as well. Unlike fission, ...
