Limited wavelengths: the Casimir effect arises because virtual photons at certain wavelengths cannot emerge in a gap between two plates (Courtesy: iStock/4X-image) Physicists in the US have worked out ...

Vacuum is not as empty as one might think. In fact, empty space is a bubbling soup of various virtual particles popping in and out of existence – a phenomenon called “vacuum fluctuations”. Usually, ...

An acoustic analogue of the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) has been demonstrated for the first time. Carried out by physicists in France, the experiment involves converting quantum fluctuations into ...
