Excited to announce that our work on “Observation and control of Casimir effects in a sphere-plate sphere system” is published in Nature. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an object under the Casimir force exerted by two other objects simultaneously.
Using our unique sphere-plate-sphere Casimir system of three closely spaced optomechanical oscillators, we also propose and demonstrate a three-terminal Casimir system that can switch and amplify quantum-vacuum-mediated energy transfer, analogous to a field effect transistor.
