"We report measurements of the Casimir force between a gold sphere and a silicon surface with an array of nanoscale, rectangular corrugations using a micromechanical torsional oscillator."

"he same technique, implemented in a dedicated experiment at subkelvin bath temperature and with a quantum limited SQUID, could allow to approach the quantum ground state of a kilogram-scale mechanical resonator."

"Another very good test some readers may want to look up... is the Casimir effect, where forces between metal plates in empty space are modified by the presence of virtual particles." -Gordon Kane
"For although it is certainly true that quantitative measurements are of great importance, it is a grave error to suppose that the whole of experimental physics can be brought under this heading." -Hendrik Casimir

On a happier note than the previous post, the American Physical Society has launched a new publication, called simply "Physics." The goal is "to highlight exceptional papers within the body of excellent research that the American Physical Society
