Back up: The future's close - and it's really cool

(skip to 1:05)

WE could be hooning on Marty McFly-like hoverboards sooner than we thought.

It's called "quantum trapping" or "quantum levitation" - and it's real.

This footage shows a magnet, cooled with liquid nitrogen and locked into space.

The display was made by a scientist from Tel Aviv at a conference in the US.

Watch as the magnet hovers in place - giving hope to fans of the hit Back to the Future films.
