"Magnetic Levitation: The Fascinating Phenomenon of Spinning Magnets"

TL;DR Summary
Physicists at the Technical University of Denmark have discovered why a spinning magnet can cause a second magnet to levitate without stabilization. Through experiments and simulations, they found that the secondary magnet rotates in sync with the spinning magnet due to a gyroscopic effect. The slight misalignment of the polar axis of the spinning magnet's magnetic field creates balanced attractive and repulsive forces, allowing the levitation to occur. This research provides insights into the phenomenon of magnetic levitation and its potential applications.
