For the first time, researchers have levitated microscopic diamonds using lasers, expanding physicists' understanding of microscopic particles and potentially providing new tools for quantum computing. In quite an eerie feat, physicists have floated microscopic diamonds in midair using laser beams.

Researchers have already used lasers to levitate extremely small particles, such as individual atoms, but this is the first time that the technique has worked on a nanodiamond, which, in this case, measures just 100 nanometers (3.9 x 10-8 inches) across, or more than 1,000 times thinner than a fingernail.
