As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his ...

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...

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 ...

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 ...

Magnetic levitation (MagLev) technologies are rapidly evolving, offering transformative methodologies in materials characterisation, precision engineering and process automation. By balancing ...

Quantum mechanics has revealed that magnetic fields exert profound influences on microscopic systems, modulating quantum states and facilitating emergent phenomena with global technological potential.

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, ...

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, ...
