Imagine if we could collect the energy out of thin air. And I mean it quite literally. You know how you were taught that a ...

There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this energy for anything useful? The idea of vacuum energy comes from quantum field theory, which ...

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 ...

If ever spotted in the emptiness of space, according to theoretical physicist Eugeny Babichev of the University of ...

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible to ...

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen’s Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute have brought us one step closer to understanding what the universe is made of. As part of the ...

The vacuum of empty space may be roiling with energy that drives the expansion of space itself, a new hypothesis proposes. The mysterious dark energy that's driving the universe's accelerated ...
