Researchers at the University of Paris' Materials and Quantum Phenomena Physics Laboratory demonstrate a "skateboard" that actually hovers, thanks to the forces of quantum levitation. In a nutshell, ...

ETH Zurich researchers captured a nano-object (centre of the image) using a laser trap. The laser light, which is focused with a lens, is shown in red. Three nano glass spheres cling to one another.

Researchers report the first observation of a new type of time crystal that seemingly defies Newton's Third Law of Motion.
