Frontier Research
VAPOR VACUUM
Vapor Vacuum's frontier research is organized around a single core investigation: the Quantum Vacuum Metrology Program. This program uses static Casimir-cavity measurements and dynamic SQUID-based resonators to characterize zero-point energy gradients with unprecedented precision. The goal is not to assume net energy extraction is possible, but to build the instrumentation required to answer that question experimentally — through nanofabricated sieve arrays, calorimetric qualification protocols, metamaterial coupling architectures, and an ultra-clean event chamber that reduces noise to the quantum vacuum floor itself. A separate structural-vacuum research track explores vacuum buoyancy.
