Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies. Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...

Researchers created a new quantum state of matter, dubbed a higher-order topological magnet, that may address key issues in quantum technology. When different quantum states combine, new collective ...

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, ...

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 ...

Scientists are closer to unravelling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force works in ...
