Detectable Signature of Quantum Friction on a Sliding Particle in Vacuum

Fernando C. Lombardo, Ricardo S. Decca, Ludmila Viotti +1

Spatially separated bodies in relative motion through vacuum experience a tiny friction force known as quantum friction. This force has so far eluded experimental detection due to…

The Classical Symmetron Force in Casimir Experiments

Benjamin Elder, Valeri Vardanyan, Yashar Akrami +3

The symmetron is a typical example of screened modified gravity, wherein the symmetron force is dynamically suppressed in dense environments. This allows it to hide in traditional…
