摘要：
A design is proposed for a mechanical device made of a nanoscale pinion sandwiched without contact between two racks that exert opposing forces rooted in the quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field via the lateral Casimir force. The built-in frustration in the design of the system helps it to react dramatically to minute changes in the geometrical features, which suggests that it could act as a good sensor. The noncontact nature of this device could help solve the infamous wear problem in nanoscale mechanical devices.
