When the Casimir effect was first predicted in 1948 it was very difficult to measure using the equipment of the time. One of the first experiments was carried out in 1958 by Marcus Spaarnay at Philips ...

Casimir’s prediction was generalized for real materials by Evgeny Lifshitz in 1956, whose work was further generalized to show that the vacuum can in fact be replaced by a material. Moreover, it was ...

The Casimir effect is a quantum phenomenon in which two materials, when placed close together, can be attracted or repelled by quantum fluctuations.

The Casimir effect, predicted in 1948 by Dutch physicist Hendrick Casimir, is a force that pushes together two plates of metal placed near each other in empty space – or a vacuum. The closer the ...

Casimir effect theoretically could stabilize and manipulate higher dimensions for warp drive. April 7, 2017 April 29, 2013 by Brian Wang. Arxiv – the Casimir e ffect may serve as a mechanism to ...

Researchers balance Casimir effects, make tiny hoverboard Thanks to quantum mechanics, empty space can both push and suck. John Timmer – Jun 6, 2019 2:00 pm | 39 ...

Finally, in 1997 — when Casimir himself was 88 years old — physicist Steve Lamoreaux made the first experimental measurement of the Casimir effect, determining that two closely spaced parallel ...

The effect was named after Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir, who predicted its existence in 1948. Nanotechnologists are keen to tame it, because it gums up their nanoscopic machines.

The Casimir effect is a quantum phenomenon in which two materials, when placed close together, can be attracted or repelled by quantum fluctuations.; A new study from researchers at the Chinese ...
