A superconductor floating works by using the Meissner effect, which causes the superconductor to repel magnetic fields. This creates a magnetic field that locks the superconductor in place above a magnet, allowing it to float without any friction or resistance.

What is the use of superconductors?

Superconductors could potentially be used in a very wide variety of areas, their introduction into mainstream technology would have a massive impact. Generally their use is in electronics. The problem is current superconductor materials are required to be very cold to stay superconducting, which makes them difficult to use. But if we had a superconductor able to work at room temperature, you could have a superconductor in your phone- which would make the chip vastly more powerful. This is the ultimate goal of superconductor development. That would just be awesome... unfortunately we're not quite there yet.
