Casimir-Lifshitz interaction emerging from relative movement of layers in stratified dielectric media (e.g., non-uniformly moving fluids) is considered. It is shown that such movement may result in a repulsive Casimir-Lifshitz force exerted…
Casimir interactions between macroscopic objects are strongly influenced by their geometrical features as shape and orientation as well as by their material properties. The effect of geometry is commonly obtained from the proximity…
Current theory is able to predict the Casimir force between macroscopic bodies with an accuracy only limited by the knowledge of the material parameters. Yet surprisingly after almost 70 years of research, while theory describes the Casimir…
