So...if it's locked, how can the experimenter move it into different positions?

That is so cool. I want one!

Why didn't he freeze his fingers off with the liquid nitrogen?
|
I wondered that as well. Maybe someone can explain.

For a short period of time (seconds) - the residual heat in the tips of the fingers would cause the nitrogen to evaporate at the point of contact - causing a vapour barrier - eventually however the fingers would cool sufficiently to stop that happening and frostbite would occur. I hope that helps?

The surface of the object is warm enough that it can be handled safely for short periods...no worse than picking up a rock in winter. Clearly there is a limit to the strength of the locking effect...exceed that point and you can reposition the object. Way cool effect, like a magnetic equivalent of friction.

The phenomenon of quantum locking
The magic of science. Someone from Tel-Aviv University demonstrates the phenomenon of quantum locking using a superconducting magnet. Super cool!
