Oscillations of mainly surface character (S=0 modes) give rise, in atomic nuclei, to an attractive (induced) pairing interaction, while spin (S=1) modes of mainly volume character generate a repulsive interaction, the net effect being an…
It is shown that chiral plasmons, characterized by a longitudinal magnetic moment accompanying the longitudinal charge plasmon, lead to electromagnetic near-fields that are also chiral. For twisted bilayer graphene, we estimate that the…
While photons in free space barely interact, matter can mediate interactions between them resulting in optical nonlinearities. Such interactions at the single-quantum level result in an on-site photon repulsion, crucial for photon-based…

It has been established for a long time that the long range van der Waals or thermal Casimir interaction between two semi-infinite dielectrics separated by a distance $H$ is screened by an intervening electrolyte. Here we show how this…
Casimir effect is the attractive force which acts between two plane parallel, closely spaced, uncharged, metallic plates in vacuum. This phenomenon was predicted theoretically in 1948 and reliably investigated experimentally only in recent…

We analyze theoretically the oscillations that the magnetoresistivity of two-dimensional electron systems present when a high intensity direct current is applied. In the model presented here we suggest that a plasma wave is excited in the…
In this letter, we derive the interaction energy and the force between two parallel metal plates, arising from quantum vacuum fluctuations when they are very close to each other. We consider the vacuum to be composed of a meson field. In…
We demonstrate that an extended picture of kinetic constraints in glass-forming liquids is sufficient to explain dynamic anomalies observed in dense suspensions of strongly attracting colloidal particles. We augment a simple model of…
Effective potential of a charged dusty particle moving in homogeneous plasma has a negative part that provides attraction between similarly charged dusty particles. A depth of this potential well is great enough to ensure both stability of…
Electromagnetic sources, as e.g. lasers, antennas, diffusers or thermal sources, produce a wavefield that interacts with objects to transfer them its momentum. We show that the photonic force exerted on a small particle in the near field of…
Particle momentum distributions originating from a quark-gluon plasma as produced in high-energy nuclear collisions can be influenced by thermal fluctuations in fluid dynamic fields. We study this effect by generalizing the commonly used…
