Imagine if we could collect the energy out of thin air. And I mean it quite literally. You know how you were taught that a ...

We keep hearing about “free energy” and miracle machines—but vacuum energy and zero point energy are real physics concepts, ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation. Suppose you want to empty a box. Really, truly ...

Unfortunately, any work you do in the universe will have to be done the old-fashioned way. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. There ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Zero-point energy is one of the most intriguing phenomena of quantum mechanics. Because quantum particles are also waves, they must always have more than zero energy.

Researchers have directly observed zero-point motion in complex molecules, capturing the precise quantum patterns of atoms with the European XFEL X-ray laser. (Nanowerk News) Most of us find it ...
