When two or more objects move relative to one another in vacuum, they experience a drag force which, at zero temperature, usually goes under the name of quantum friction. This contactless non-conservative interaction is mediated by the…

We study the fluctuation-electromagnetic interaction between a small rotating particle with an arbitrary direction of angular velocity vector and evanescent field of the heated surface, and obtain the general expressions for the force of…
Two interaction mechanisms of particles in a fluid are proposed on base of forces, mediated by hydrodynamic thermal fluctuations. The first one is similar to the conventional van der Waals interaction, but instead of been mediated by…
The interaction between freely propagating electrons and light waves is typically described using an approximation in which we assume that the electron velocity remains approximately the same during the interaction. In this article we…
Space-time modulation systems have garnered significant attention due to their resemblance to moving-matter systems and promising applications. Unlike conventional moving-matter systems, modulation systems do not involve net motion of…
The electronic structure of heavy elements, when described in a space-time which the metric is affected by the electromagnetic interaction, presents instabilities. These instabilities increase with the atomic number, and above a critical…
