UCR physicist demonstrates how light can be used to remotely operate micromachines from PhysOrg.com
Light changes the Casimir force, a weak attraction between close objects, says Umar Mohideen
A research team led by Umar Mohideen, a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, has demonstrated in the laboratory that the Casimir force – the small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates – can be changed using a beam of light, making the remote operation of micromachines a possibility.
