Magnetic Levitation in the News

Bismuth is so strongly repelled from magnets, it levitates. How?
The element bismuth can "float" between magnets due to magnetic levitation. What's the science behind this phenomenon? continued..
Watch the first-ever magnetic levitation test on regular train tracks
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. This is a huge boon, as the maglev demo ... continued..
