I shot Matt an email. I will let you know if he replies.

Can you describe what's going on in quantum levitation? Don't go light on the details...>> ^MycroftHomlz:

@rottenseed, It is the Meissner effect. I can go into it... are you sure you want that?

This one is even cooler... They show it working upside down!

This looks like an awesome gift for a kid with a dewer of liquid nitrogen.

I just briefly read about it. Essentially below certain temperatures superconductors cannot have a magnetic field inside its body (I still don't know why), so the magnetic field flows "around" the superconductor, looking kind of like what air looks like going over an airplane wing. That seems oversimplified, but I'm dumb and I haven't taken E&M in 2 years...>> ^MycroftHomlz:

Sad but true... Credits go to the advisor. Typically this is because the idea belongs to the advisor. In very rare instances, the advisor does not conceive of the project. In those case, the advisor will defer to the student. Author order is important. The first author is the lead student, and the last author is the advisor. This is often regardless of how much work was put into writing the paper.
