Where can I find actual Casimir plates? To buy or hire for experiments, I mean. If so, what do they cost?
Casimir plates can be purchased from various scientific supply companies, such as Sigma-Aldrich or Fisher Scientific. They can also be found on online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay.
While Casimir plates are not as common as other scientific equipment, they can still be easily obtained from several suppliers. However, it is important to check availability and pricing from different sources before making a purchase.
Casimir plates require precise measurements and specific materials to function properly, so it is not recommended to make them at home. It is best to purchase them from a reputable supplier.
The cost of Casimir plates can vary depending on the size, materials used, and supplier. On average, a set of Casimir plates can range from $50 to $200.
Casimir plates are often used in scientific experiments to study the Casimir effect, which is a phenomenon where two uncharged, parallel plates are attracted to each other due to quantum fluctuations in the vacuum. They are also used in developing technologies such as nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and quantum computing.
