Magnetic levitation refers to suspending an object using magnetic fields without any physical contact. It relies on repulsive forces between magnets to counteract the force of gravity.
Superconductivity: A phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electric current with zero resistance when cooled below a critical temperature.
Diamagnetism: The property of a material that causes it to create an opposing magnetic field when placed in an external magnetic field.
Eddy Currents: Circulating currents induced in a conductor by changes in the nearby magnetic field, which can cause heating and energy loss.
