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 ...

ETH Zurich researchers captured a nano-object (centre of the image) using a laser trap. The laser light, which is focused with a lens, is shown in red. Three nano glass spheres cling to one another.
