Researchers have discovered a "repulsive" light force that can be used to control components on silicon microchips, meaning future nanodevices could be controlled by light rather than electricity. A ...
Scientists can put two uncharged metal plates close together in a vacuum, and 'voila!' -- they will attract each other. In 1948, Dutch theoretical physicist Hendrick Casimir first predicted an ...
New Haven, Conn.—A team of Yale University researchers has discovered a "repulsive" light force that can be used to control components on silicon microchips, meaning future nanodevices could be ...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – January 7, 2008 – Researchers from Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have measured, for the first time, a repulsive quantum mechanical force that could ...
The Casimir force can be tuned and even reversed by placing a chiral optical material between two similar surfaces – according to calculations by Qing-Dong Jiang and Frank Wilczek at the University of ...
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 ...
Vesselin Dimitrov’s proof of the Schinzel-Zassenhaus conjecture quantifies the way special values of polynomials push each other apart. In the physical world, objects often push each other apart in an ...
Metal oxides are abundant in nature and central to technologies such as photocatalysis and photovoltaics. Yet, many suffer from poor electrical conduction, caused by strong repulsion between electrons ...
A proton isn't just three quarks and gluons, but a sea of dense particles and antiparticles inside. The more precisely we look at a proton and the greater the energies that we perform deep inelastic ...
