One of the challenges vexing nanotechnologists is that materials behave differently on the nan0scale, than on the micro- and macro- levels. Now, Argonne National Laboratory scientists have developed a chip to detect the Casimir Force, which throws nanoparticles out of alignment.

“Oh father of the four winds, fill my sails…”
