Zero-point energy sits at a strange crossroads between hard physics and science fiction, promising limitless power from the fabric of space itself. If it could be tapped in any practical way, it would ...

From 2011-2016, Andrea claimed to generate up to a megawatt of power from an cold fusion based energy catalyzer. This ended with a lawsuit from a partner and no commercialized devices. Rossi is now ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Suppose you want to empty a box. Really, truly empty it. You remove all its visible contents, pump out any gases, and—applying some ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Zero-point energy is one of the most intriguing phenomena of quantum mechanics. Because quantum particles are also waves, they must always have more than zero energy.
