The Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, and Brackett series are sets of lines found in the emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen and are explained by electron energy level transitions as shown in Figure 11. When an electron drops from a higher-energy state to a lower-energy state, it emits a photon with a sp ...

Quantum vacuum thruster
A quantum vacuum plasma thruster (or Q-thruster) is a proposed type of spacecraft thruster that would work in part by acting on the virtual particles produced by quantum vacuum fluctuations. This was proposed as a possible model for an engine that could produce thrust without carrying its own propellant. Some physicists working with microwave resonant cavity thrusters think that they might be the first examples of such an engine.
