Image description

Japan's Superconductivity Research Laboratory employee Ikuko Asakawa is seen floating 5-cm (2 inches) above ground using superconductors against permanent magnets, paving way for commercial use of superconducting technology, during a demonstration February 19. The research laboratory succeeded in lifting the woman weighting roughly 50 kg (110-lb) sitting on a 70-kg (154-lb) steel disk. The superconductors can be used permanently in machinery since the levitated device, such as a disk or a wheel, will not wear out due to friction. JAPAN SUPERCONDUCTOR
