Quantum Levitation & Locking (READ BELOW⬇️)‼️ Quantum levitation as it is called is a process where scientists use the properties of quantum physics to levitate an object (specifically, a superconductor) over a magnetic source (specifically a quantum levitation track designed for this purpose). ▫️The Science of Quantum Levitation: The reason this works is something called the Meissner effect and magnetic flux pinning. The Meissner effect dictates that a superconductor in a magnetic field will al

🤔🤯This is way too cool. Quantum locking, also known as flux pinning, is a phenomenon observed in superconducting materials. It occurs when a magnetic field penetrates a superconductor in the form of quantized vortices, which become “locked” or “pinned” in place due to imperfections in the material’s structure. As a result, the superconductor is able to maintain its position relative to the magnetic field, seemingly defying gravity and friction.This fascinating effect has potential applications
