Cooled to liquid Nitrogen temperatures (almost 200 below zero), this ceramic becomes superconducting — which means it can carry an electric current with no resistance.
One property of superconductors like these is that they expel all magnetic fields ... and so, for example, can levitate above a track of magnets.
