Birth of Light from the Quantum Void ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Quantum Vacuum Radiation Near a Critical Point"
When a system teeters on the edge of a quantum transition, bright light bursts from the vacuum.

The quantum vacuum isn't empty, it's a sea of virtual particles. If you jolt them near a critical phase transition point, bright light is born. This trick could lead to hypersensitive sensors and new radiation sources.
🎯 Quantum vacuum fluctuations are so real that they create a subtle attractive force between two closely spaced mirrors—the Casimir effect.
