We are happy to offer teachers and educators “Quantum Levitation Booklet“, a complete experiment guide that includes theoretical background, quantitive experiments, data analysis and much more.
Ever wondered how Quantum levitation is possible? It’s all due to superconducting materials! These materials have special properties that allow them to conduct electricity without any resistance. When a magnet is placed near a superconducting material, the superconductor does two...
We can easily build a true hoverboard with superconductors. Superconductors Superconductors are a perfect example for a Quantum Physics that is macroscopic, large and accessible to play with. Superconductivity is created by having discrete energy levels AND by having a...
In 1911, Dutch physicist and Nobel Laureate Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered that when you cool the element mercury (Hg) in liquid helium to a temperature of -270°C (-454°F) , it exhibits a phenomenon of zero electrical resistance, which he then called superconductivity. For...
