Depiction of quantum levitation exploiting the nonequilibrium Casimir force. A modestly biased semiconductor creates modes that exert a repulsive force on a nearby surface. This force overcomes the ...

Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...

Levitating sensors are moving from science-fiction imagery to practical laboratory tools, promising a new generation of instruments that can feel forces so faint they border on the gravitational pull ...

Physicists in Australia have become the first researchers to levitate a macroscopic object using lasers. The physicists used three lasers to form a levitational "tripod" that could hold a small mirror ...

The above video comes via the Association of Science-Technology Centers, and it shows a superconductive disc locked in “quantum levitation.” Translation: HOLY SHIT, THAT NILLA WAFER IS FLOATING IN MID ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...

The apparent miracle of quantum levitation looks like something in a science fiction movie or a magic act but it’s all real. A disc can fly. Really. TMC CTO Tom Keating watched some videos of the ...

Quantum levitation is an example of what’s called the Meissner effect. “Quantum levitation” sounds like a piece of pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo if ever there was one. But it’s a reality, you can see ...

Researchers at the University of Paris' Materials and Quantum Phenomena Physics Laboratory demonstrate a "skateboard" that actually hovers, thanks to the forces of quantum levitation. In a nutshell, ...
