Quantum Levitation: how amazing is THAT?!

(1/1)

Da Rat Bastid:
It has to do with super-cooled semiconductors and magnets, and such things.  I don't know much about it yet, but I already know that I'll have to go looking for my lower jaw as soon as I post this.  :o

Art Vandelay:
Isn't that just the Meissner Effect? I don't disagree that it's awesome, but it's hardly new. After all, maglevs have been around for at least a decade or so.

Undecided:
Sorry to burst your bubble, Rat, but the materials that can do that have been around since the late '80s. Now, if you find one that works at room temperature...
