Researchers from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) proposed a new approach to describe the interaction of metals with electromagnetic fluctuations (that is, with random bursts of electric and magnetic fields).
The obtained results have great potential for application in both fundamental physics and for creating nanodevices for various purposes. The article was published in the International Journal “European Physical Journal C“.
The operation of microdevices used in modern technology is influenced by the Casimir force caused by electromagnetic fluctuations. This is the force of attraction acting between two surfaces in the vacuum. [Read more…] about Scientists explain the paradox of quantum forces in nanodevices
