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, ...

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 ...

With the help of an optical device and laser beams, researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in keeping such objects almost completely motionless in levitation. This is significant when it comes to ...

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 ...

This is an artist's rendition of how the repulsive Casimir-Lifshitz force between suitable materials in a fluid can be used to quantum mechanically levitate a small object of density greater than the ...

Levitation as a technique generally refers to engineered methods for stably suspending an object against gravity without mechanical contact, using physical forces such as electromagnetic, ...

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, ...
