Opposite charges attract right? What about systems of particles with zero total charge? In the quantum world, nothing ever stands still, and because of this, even non-charged objects can attract each other. Like the feet of a gecko to the wall. Want to know about this phenomenon?  Join UNSW Australia's Andrea Morello in this series which proves that quantum mechanics has more of an impact on your daily life than you think.
Professor Andrea Morello is a researcher and lecturer in the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at UNSW Australia in Sydney. He was one of the 2013 Australian Prime Minister's Prizes for Science, the Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year.
