Will the Casimir Effect Operate Between Bolt Threads at 10nm?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the applicability of the Casimir Effect between bolt threads at a distance of 10 nanometers. Participants confirm that the Casimir Effect, a quantum phenomenon arising from vacuum fluctuations, can indeed operate at this scale. The specific geometry of bolt threads may influence the magnitude of the effect, but the fundamental principles remain valid. This interaction is significant for applications in nanotechnology and materials science.
