Scientists working on magnetic levitation have created a platform more sensitive than the best atomic sensors.

The element bismuth can "float" between magnets due to magnetic levitation. What's the science behind this phenomenon?

A test by Italian firm IronLev has provided successful examples of how a magnetic levitation train, or maglev, might work on already existing train tracks.

Italian firm Ironlev claims to have completed the first-ever maglev test on an existing train track — and has the footage to prove it.
