Sounds fancy right? Well, to simplify: Hoverboards might be coming soon in the near future. When a magnet is cooled by liquid nitrogen, it becomes a super conductor that has the ability to “lock” it’s position when exposed to a nearby permanent magnet. Unless you’re a physics nerd, that probably wouldn’t make too much sense so I won’t bother you with the broken-down science behind it. Instead, I found a visual representation courtesy of the people at the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) that I would imagine be much more intriguing that a wall of text. Check it out!
