The idea of floating objects that can be manipulated in mid-air has long been something left to science fiction, but the researchers at Tel-Aviv University have just shown off an amazing example of this called "Quantum Levitation". We're not only dealing with a floating object that can be moved to some small degree, but rather have one that can be turned on an angle and remain that way, or be pushed around a magnetic track where it won't fall off.
