Levitation

Levitation, the stuff of sci fi, Star Wars and Star Trek fame, is no longer fiction. It appears that manipulating the Casimir Effect, (a force from nothing) by placing a "Perfect Lens of negative refractivity." between two surfaces enable objects to levitate, something that, heretofore was considered to be the stuff of science fiction. Applications of this tech could be endless with the first entering the realm of nanotech where objects of vanishingly small size could be manipulated in ways impossible to even think about before the advent of this technology.

Even though this research is in it's infancy, the notion of scaling this up to real world size is not out of the question as this tech is at the same level of development as that of invisibility another concept formerly believed to be another fanciful notion until now.
