A team at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan levitated a 128-milligram diamond and moved it 100 nanometers using laser-controlled electron spins. This breakthrough demonstrates the power of quantum physics and could help solve one of Einstein's greatest mysteries.Why it mattersThe experiment combines quantum physics and mechanics, potentially opening a new path toward testing how quantum physics and gravity fit together. Quantum spins refer to the tiny, built-in magnetism of electron
