Space Systems Design Studio has redone its web site or I just haven't been there in a while. There is now a nice section on its flux-pinned modular spacecraft research and applications for the technology, as well as some video of flux pinning in action.
The lab, as pointed out recently, has also experimented with Lorentz-force technology, which might enable satellites to use the Earth's magnetic field to orbit the planet. The technology, according to Discovery News, has the potential to dramatically alter space physics and economies.
