 | Nanoscale machines expected to have wide application in industry, energy, medicine and other fields may someday operate far more efficiently thanks to important theoretical discoveries concerning the manipulation of famous Casimir forces that took place at the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory. ...> Full Article |
 | The Casimir force is typified by the small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates. Now, to study this force, two physicists at the University of California, Riverside have received funding of $1.6 million for two years from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The physicists will conduct experimental and theoretical research on ways to manipulate the Casimir force between objects -- a necessary step in designing micro- and nano-machines. ...> Full Article |
A pioneering team from the University of Leicester is seeking to harness a force of nature- only measured accurately a decade ago - to help develop the technology of tomorrow.
