Quantum Levitation Racers

Remember those remote controlled slot car tracks we used to play with when we were kids? Those were the shit! Well Japan has stepped up their slot car game with the remote controlled quantum levitation Wipe'Out track.

Via LikeCool, "The mini-Wipeout game works using "quantum levitation". When super-cooled (below -301 F), an electrically and magnetically neutral object coated with a ceramic layer (in this case, the ships) becomes a superconductor. This is an object that conducts electricity with no resistance, and no energy loss."

Imagine this on a grand, life size scale...levitating cars anyone?! Cool!!!
