Although it has been around for a while now, quantum levitation is always interesting to observe. Researchers from Tel-Aviv University recently exhibited their Quantum Levitation project at the ASTC Annual Conference. The project involves usage of superconductivity which enables materials to become strongly diamagnetic – a property which allows them to create an equally opposing… »

Researchers at the Stanford University have made an interesting discovery after they sandwiched two nonmagnetic insulators together. Contrary to expectations, the layer where the two materials meet has both magnetic and superconducting regions – two properties which haven’t been found to co-exist in nature. The discovery could be a starting point for creation of new materials… »
