According to the Telegraph, the same guys who demonstrated an invisibility cloak have now demonstrated levitation that is neither magnetic nor "anti-gravity". Of course, it is only on the nano-level.
The difficult we do immediately, but the impossible takes a little longer! Ben Franklin might have been alone among the founding fathers of the United States who would have believed airplanes and automobiles were possible, but even he might have been pretty skeptical about flights to the moon, the global fiber-optic and satellite communications network, and the World Wide Web. We have electronic devices that operate based on principles from quantum mechanics, and pharmaceuticals based on genetically engineered micro organisms. Who knows what will be commonplace in a couple of hundred years!
