Remember the movie Independence Day when the 2mile diameter ufo craft slowly hovered their way into the major cities across the world and what surrounded them was what I thought were clouds.

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a way to use sound waves to levitate individual droplets of solutions containing different pharmaceuticals. Its Called Acoustic Levitation

The North Museum of Natural History & Science in Lancaster, PA previews its newest attraction: a quantum levitator. It's a circular track of magnets above which a razor-thin disc magically levitates, seeming to defy the laws of physics.

Purchased for about $7,000 from Tel-Aviv University, the levitator is believed to be the only one of its kind in a United States museum.

The key to the levitator is the disc, which is made of superconducting material sandwiched between layers of gold and sapphire crystal. A piece of foam is placed on top and held in place with household plastic wrap. The disc is then dipped into a brew of liquid nitrogen (temperature: minus-300 degrees Fahrenheit). I for one appreciate the North Museum for sharing this. This is an extraordinary science project you must imagine this on a bigger scale.



You can see now why gold is so important other than formed into gold bricks and stored at the federal reserve or ft Knox.....right

This is pretty cool although i think somewhat of a hoax.

A flux-pinning enhanced superconducting puck levitates above and is pinned to a magnetic figure-8 track. This demonstrates the quantum physical effect of superconductivity and the Meissner Effect as well as magnetic flux pinning. The puck is accelerated using the motors from a toy car track set.
