HOW IT WORKS. "Inside each magnetic flux tube superconductivity is locally destroyed. The superconductor will try to keep the magnetic tubes pinned in weak areas (e.g. grain boundaries). Any spatial movement of the superconductor will cause the flux tubes to move. In order to prevent that the superconductor remains "trapped" in midair." https://lnkd.in/emW6Tsg View in LinkedIn

GRAVITATIONAL LENSING. "Only Einstein came up with the theory of gravitational lensing which was later proven as fact...actually bends the track of photons around celestial objects but does not necessarily bend space itself." https://lnkd.in/e32BTSM View in LinkedIn

FLUX TUBES. "Superconductivity and magnetic field [sic] do not like each other. When possible, the superconductor will expel all the magnetic field from inside. This is the Meissner effect. In our case, since the superconductor is extremely thin, the magnetic field does penetrate. However, it does that in discrete quantities (this is quantum physics after all! ) called flux tubes." https://lnkd.in/emW6Tsg View in LinkedIn

SPACEHOUNDS. "Among the many examples of how science fiction and fantasy have inspired real science, an interesting one is the “tractor beam,” first conceived by the chemical engineer and writer Edward E. Smith in the 1930s in his novel Spacehounds of IPC." https://lnkd.in/eYSRjM2 View in LinkedIn

ACOUSTIC TRACTOR BEAMS have been the invention of imaginative SciFi writers. But since 2012, equally imaginative science has made advances in this subject. Once again, at the heart of this is the subject of waves, and their bendiness. View in LinkedIn

BIG NANO FORCES. "The usually attractive vacuum forces, the Casimir and the related van-der-Waals force, are significant on the length scale of nanomachines; so ideas for manipulating vacuum forces may find applications in nanotechnology." https://lnkd.in/eCBg2Ha View in LinkedIn

FRICTION-FREE. "Another useful application is the creation of truly frictionless bearings. The bearing would be able to rotate, but it would be suspended without direct physical contact with the surrounding housing, so that there wouldn't be any friction." https://lnkd.in/emW6Tsg View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM LEVITATION. "Left-handed metamaterials are known to make perfect lenses that image classical electromagnetic fields with higher resolution than the diffraction limit. For optical left-handed metamaterials, this repulsive force of the quantum vacuum may levitate ultra-thin mirrors on, literally, nothing." https://lnkd.in/eCBg2Ha View in LinkedIn

MAGLEV TRAINS. "There are already magnetic levitation trains in Asia which use this process, in addition to the more traditional electromagnetic levitation (maglev) trains." https://lnkd.in/emW6Tsg View in LinkedIn
