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, ...

This is an artist's rendition of how the repulsive Casimir-Lifshitz force between suitable materials in a fluid can be used to quantum mechanically levitate a small object of density greater than the ...

The most comprehensive sci-tech news coverage on the web ...

Levitation as a technique generally refers to engineered methods for stably suspending an object against gravity without mechanical contact, using physical forces such as electromagnetic, ...

My doctoral research focuses on analyzing how the disorder affects the transport of different kinds of quantum materials, e.g., topological insulator thin films and nanowires, quantum Hall GaAs/AlGaAs ...
