The Casimir effect may not come from vacuum energy

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI

Recently I saw a post on twitter claiming that AI could be powered with quantum vacuum energy. The post was accompanied by a figure from a paper published in Nature. Unfortunately for the poster, but fortunately for science, the paper had nothing to do with extracting energy from the vacuum. Rather, it was a description of an experimental realization of a transistor that uses the Casimir effect to mediate and amplify energy transfer across a new kind of transistor.
