With the help of an optical device and laser beams, researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in keeping such objects almost completely motionless in levitation. This is significant when it comes to ...

A team of researchers from ETH Zurich has reached an impressive milestone in quantum physics by levitating a cluster of three nano-glass spheres, composed of 300 million atoms. The spheres, each ten ...

A research team from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), on Friday, announced that it had achieved a major milestone in levitation technology by eliminating eddy-current damping in ...

Depiction of quantum levitation exploiting the nonequilibrium Casimir force. A modestly biased semiconductor creates modes that exert a repulsive force on a nearby surface. This force overcomes the ...
