Viscosity in modified gravity
Iver Brevik
A bulk viscosity is introduced in the formalism of modified gravity. It is shown that, on the basis of a natural scaling law for the viscosity, a simple solution can be found for q…
Casimir attractive-repulsive transition in MEMS
M. Boström, S. Å. Ellingsen, I. Brevik +3
Unwanted stiction in micro- and nanomechanical (NEMS/MEMS) systems due to dispersion (van der Waals, or Casimir) forces is a significant hurdle in the fabrication of systems with m…
Turbulence and Little Rip Cosmology
I. Brevik, R. Myrzakulov, S. Nojiri +1
A variety of conditions is considered under which the cosmic dark fluid may be able to develop a future Big Rip or Little Rip singularity. Both one-component and two-component mode…
Detection of the Abraham force with a succession of short optical pulses
Iver Brevik, Simen Å. Ellingsen
For over a century, two rival descriptions of electromagnetic field momentum in matter have co-existed, due to Abraham and Minkowski, respectively. We propose a set-up for measurin…
