Testing the Influence of the Gravitational Redshift on the Casimir Effect in Space

C. J. de Matos, M. Tajmar

We show that the Casimir effect should be influenced by variations of the gravitational potential. This could be tested with a satellite in a highly elliptic orbit. Still significa…

Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49

Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…

Derivation of the Planck Mass from Gravitational Polarization of the Quantum Vacuum

M. Tajmar

The Planck units were originally derived from a dimensional analysis without a deeper understanding of their meaning. It was later believed that these units may provide a link betw…

Fiber-Optic-Gyroscope Measurements Close to Rotating Liquid Helium

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu

We previously reported anomalous fiber-optic gyroscope signals observed above rotating rings at temperatures close to liquid helium. Our results suggested that the liquid helium it…

Anomalous Fiber Optic Gyroscope Signals Observed above Spinning Rings at Low Temperature

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu, B. Seifert

Precision fiber optic gyroscopes were mounted mechanically de-coupled above spinning rings inside a cryostat. Below a critical temperature (typically <30 K), the gyroscopes measure…

Comment on "Nonlinearity of the Field Induced by a Rotating Superconducting Shell"

M. Tajmar

An extension to the model from Berger is proposed to analyse the nonlinearity of the magnetic field from a rotating superconducting shell, taking into account the effect of the Lon…
