Quantum Levitation

Hi to all!!
Yesterday I found this interesting video about levitation.

From youtube:



Tel-Aviv University demos quantum superconductors locked in a magnetic field (www.quantumlevitation.com). For an explanation of the physics behind this demonstration, visit www.quantumlevitation.com/levitation/The_physics.html.

With the theme "Knowledge that Works: From Theory to Practice," the 2011 ASTC Annual Conference featured more than 100 sessions, which highlighted how science centers and museums are putting new ideas to practical use to serve their communities. The conference was hosted by the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, October 15-18.

A little explanation:

thanks for sharing. looks like similar to current magnetic propelled trains. There must be lot of other uses for this technology.

Good one, thanks for sharing!

Imagine if we could achieve superconductivity at room temperatures somehow... that would be really awesome.

wow this is super cool, thanks for sharing gonzorama :) imagine if we could have cars that could use this technology, we'd be in the jetsons age ;)
