Scientists have a new tool: the Casimir effect tweezers.
Casimir Effect is one of the most interesting phenomena in the world because the effect can be called the "force of nothingness". The Casimir effect is the thing, where the "ghost particles" are forming between two layers, which are extremely close to each other. So the description for the Casimir effect is that is one kind of "electric arc", what is burning between the quantum fields.
So the Casimir effect that is forming between the very sharp stylus and the layer can be used to move objects, what are the atom size. There is created the "optical instruments", where the extremely tiny piezoelectric crystals, what are forming about a couple of atoms are conducted the acoustic impulses, which makes them send the photons to the object, and that thing allows them to move atoms.
But when the researchers would want to put atoms in chains they need a more sensitive tool, which would not break the chain of polar atoms, which is connected by the quantum fields. If the punch is too tough, the atoms would touch each other and they are flying away from the structure. The idea is that when the minus pole of the quantum field is touching the plus side of the other atoms quantum field that thing makes it possible that the data would travel by oscillating those quantum fields.
In that structure, electrons are not moving between atoms and the oscillation of the quantum fields would transport data. The thing is like building the ship in the bottle. The components that are used are at the temperature, what is near the zero kelvin degrees, and if the energy layer of those particles is rising too high, that thing would destroy the structure. The thing is that even one extra photon can destroy the structure.
So, in this case, there should be some other way to move the atoms, And the Casimir effect would be an extremely good tool for that thing. The Casimir effect would not bring too much energy for that structure, that it would not increase the power of the oscillation. And that's why it would be one of the most promising tools in quantum technology.
