Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are pioneering the design and synthesis of quantum ...

Levitating sensors are moving from science-fiction imagery to practical laboratory tools, promising a new generation of instruments that can feel forces so faint they border on the gravitational pull ...

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 ...

ETH Zurich scientists have levitated a tower of three nano glass spheres using optical tweezers, suppressing almost all classical motion to observe quantum zero-point fluctuations with unprecedented ...

Magnetic levitation technologies and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems represent a transformative advancement in transportation and industrial applications. These systems utilise the principles ...

The original team of South Korean LK99 Room Temperature and atmospheric pressure superconductors researchers will have a short 12 minute presentation at the American Physical Society conference. The ...

Magnetic levitation trains, better known as maglev trains, have recently achieved a staggering speed of 800 miles per hour. This remarkable development marks a significant stride in transportation ...

Physicists in Australia have become the first researchers to levitate a macroscopic object using lasers. The physicists used three lasers to form a levitational "tripod" that could hold a small mirror ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical systems on some tasks. Instead of storing information as bits, ...

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, ...

ETH Zurich researchers captured a nano-object (centre of the image) using a laser trap. The laser light, which is focused with a lens, is shown in red. Three nano glass spheres cling to one another.
