Is the electrostatic force between a point charge and a neutral metallic object always attractive?
Michael Levin, Steven G. Johnson
We give an example of a geometry in which the electrostatic force between a point charge and a neutral metallic object is repulsive. The example consists of a point charge centered…

Casimir repulsion between metallic objects in vacuum
Michael Levin, Alexander P. McCauley, Alejandro W. Rodriguez +2
We give an example of a geometry in which two metallic objects in vacuum experience a repulsive Casimir force. The geometry consists of an elongated metal particle centered above a…
