Follow us on Twitter: @ScienceCenters. 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.

If the magnetic field stays locked within a shell of saphire crystal perhaps? But yet free flowing inside?…what temps do saphire crystals melt?…..does anyone see where i’m going with this?

Amazing to think that this tech may someday be so commonplace that people don’t bat an eyelid. To me it’s jaw-dropping, like a mobile phone would be to someone from the 1800s.

Can this be used to create energy?

Et si vous laisser le truc tourner, et que en meme temps vous lever la plaque , sa tombe, ou sa reste ? Pck vous avez enlever le petit trucs rond et ensuite vous avez tourner la plaque…

This is cool you could in theory build a highway of magnets or a railtrack of magnets and the vehicles would be able to travel much faster…but how would you stop?

This is pretty, but lots of labs have been demonstrating the same thing for the last twenty five years. The only difference is that that this is a thin superconductor.

I know how much hate people can give me
when reading these kinda comments
but i’ll write it anyway at least one good person won’t
I’m a rapper and i know there are 200k of these in the world

@PIlotrcm put your foot down like the flintstones! XD

@PIlotrcm that is why you use electro magnets for the track if u want to control it. You can turn the electro magnet on and off at will.

I need this for ice skating. “Look at me, you loser advanced ice skaters! I can spin better than you! I’m so good, my skates aren’t even on the ice!”

@eesti777777 your girlfriend’s a nerd (embrace it, love it) and if she’s a successful nerd, you’ll soon be having high speed levitation sex quantum locked to one of the blades of your ceiling fan.
