TED: Levitating superconductor - Quantum Locking

Boaz Almog: The levitating superconductor | Video on TED.com:
"How can a super-thin 3-inch disk levitate something 70,000 times its own weight? In a riveting demonstration, Boaz Almog shows how a phenomenon known as quantum locking allows a superconductor disk to float over a magnetic rail -- completely frictionlessly and with zero energy loss"
