Caltech Researchers Develop a New Way to Levitate and Propel Objects Using Only Light

By producing certain nanoscale patterning on the surfaces of objects, researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a new method to levitate and push objects with the help of light. Although the work is still in its theoretical stage, it definitely brings researchers closer to designing a spacecraft that can one day reach the closest planet beyond the solar system in 20 years, all driven and accelerated simply by light.
