We have used an atomic force microscope to make precision measurements of the Casimir force between a metallized sphere of diameter 196 microns and flat plate. The force was measured for plate-sphere separations from 0.1 to 0.9 microns. The experimental results are consistent with present theoretical calculations including the finite conductivity, roughness, and temperature corrections. The root mean square average deviation of 1.6 pN between theory and experiment corresponds to a 1% deviation at the smallest separation.

  1. Casimir effect for a massive scalar field confined between parallel plates with a spatially varying effective mass

    hep-th 2026-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A claimed exact Casimir energy for a scalar field with a quadratic position-dependent mass is derived, but the conversion from continuum to discrete transverse modes uses an unproven Landau-style measure.

  2. Thermal Casimir Effect in A Schwarzschild-like Wormhole Spacetime

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Calculates renormalized Casimir free energy and thermodynamic quantities for a scalar field in a wormhole spacetime at finite temperature, finding geometry-independent thermal corrections in the comoving frame.
