Depiction of quantum levitation exploiting the nonequilibrium Casimir force. A modestly biased semiconductor creates modes that exert a repulsive force on a nearby surface. This force overcomes the attractive equilibrium Casimir force contribution at submicron distances. See Spreng et al., pp. 266–273.
