The silica-coated graphite plate levitates above a magnetic surface, with no need for external powerOISTScientists in Japan have devised a method to create a floating platform using conventional graphite, eliminating the need for an external power source typically associated with magnetic levitation.If you've attempted to push together two magnets with the same charge, you're...
Jackery's Solar Generator Mars Bot is presently being showcased at CESJackeryPortable photovoltaic systems are excellent for producing electricity in remote locations, but the inconvenience of regularly relocating them to stay in sunlight can be burdensome. Jackery's Solar Generator Mars Bot presents a solution to this issue by autonomously repositioning itself.Presenting itself to the public...
The electrical current in this substance exhibits characteristics akin to the fluid dynamics of a liquid.Credit: Maxim Studio/ShutterstockResearchers have successfully constructed nanowires featuring a precise 1:2:2 ratio of ytterbium, rhodium, and silicon (YbRh2Si2), revealing an intriguing phase of matter known as the "strange metal." This quantum material defies conventional expectations, particularly regarding the unique behavior exhibited...
Credit: PixaobayScientists from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have successfully generated gripping force and electricity by drawing inspiration from a butterfly's initial flight. The researchers explained that the butterfly's wings, composed of chitin, undergo a process of dehydration while its veins are filled with blood during the unfolding stage of metamorphosis....
