Abstract: We discuss three developments in the study of the tangential Casimir force [Z. Zhang, New J. Phys. 24 (2022) 113036]. The first one generalizes the force from dielectrics to magnetodielectrics. This generalization is readily realized with the help of working out the total zero-point energy of multilayered magnetodielectrics. The second one revisits the tangential force for real conductors by taking into account the temperature dependence of their dielectric constants, and provides needed theoretical results for experimental investigations that are expected to be conducted at room temperature. The third investigates the Casimir torque from plates made of isotropic media, which offers a simple way to realize torques for uncharged surfaces.

Recommendations

• Casimir torque between corrugated metallic plates
• Casimir attraction in multilayered plane parallel magnetodielectric systems
• The impact of the anisotropy of the media between parallel plates on the Casimir force
• Single-interface Casimir torque
• Casimir forces on a bi-anisotropic absorbing magneto-dielectric slab between two parallel conducting plates
