... Wilhelm Röntgen studied the effect of cathode rays passing through various materials. He noticed that a nearby phosphorescent screen glowed during some of these experiments. These rays were unaffected by magnetic fields and penetrated materials more than cathode rays. He called them x rays and d ...

... levels. So, for example, if we are looking at an electron changing into the n = 1 level, we estimate that the falling electron “sees” a nucleus of charge Z – 1, instead of just Z. The problem with this estimate is that the lower level electron(s) does not do a perfect job of shielding the changing e ...

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.
