The Casimir force is typified by the small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates. Now, to study this force, two physicists at the University of California, Riverside have received funding of $1.6 million for two years from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The physicists will conduct experimental and theoretical research on ways to manipulate the Casimir force between objects -- a necessary step in designing micro- and nano-machines. ...> Full Article
