From the page: "Physicists said they can create "incredible levitation effects" by manipulating so-called Casimir force, which normally causes objects to stick together by quantum force. Casimir force -- discovered in 1948 and first measured in 1997 -- can be seen in a gecko's ability to stick to a surface with just one toe. Now the British scientists say they can reverse the Casimir force to cause an object to repel rather than attract another in a vacuum. ... Leonhardt stressed that the practise is possible only for micro-objects. "For now, human levitation remains the subject of cartoons, fairytales and tales of the paranormal.""
