The Casimir Force Between Objects in a Vacuum Shows Complex Dependence on Temperature

When two uncharged objects are placed in a vacuum with no external fields, we wouldn’t expect them to have any force between them other than gravity. Quantum electrodynamics says otherwise. It shows that tiny quantum oscillations in the vacuum will give rise to an attraction called the Casimir force.

Next Generation Cloaking Device Step Closer to Reality

A device that can bestow invisibility to an object by "cloaking" it from visual light is closer to reality. After being the first to demonstrate the feasibility of such a device by constructing a prototype in 2006, a team of Duke University engineers has produced a new type of cloaking device, which is significantly more sophisticated at cloaking in a broad range of frequencies.
