“Quantum levitation” may not be a household term, but one look at a YouTube video now nearing 3 million views, and you’ll soon get the gist of what’s going on. In essence, it’s a thin but solid disc floating in mid-air. Magic and science fiction might be what spring to mind, but in fact what’s being demonstrated is real, live science, courtesy of the Superconductivity Group in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University. Quantum levitation is the phenomenon behind it, and it’s been on the tip of more than a few tongues ever since the group demonstrated the feat last week.
Hello my name is Zachary Maneja age:14
I still have a lot of research to do but I may have a way to make a hoverboard, I probably have a lot of learning, research and profit I need to make, but I`m not stopping to open the doors of a new generation. If you want to give me help or give me tips let me know maybe I could use it in the making. My love for Science is high and nothing will make me hate it, I`m grown up and mature so I try to make as accurate and mature explanations as possible and I have a note book of possibilities. Thank you for taking time reading this and get ready for a new generation
