According to an article on Scienceagogo.com, Physicists say a new experiment may reveal exotic forces in nature and "additional spatial dimensions."

Researchers say they will demonstrate an innovative way to measure a phenomenon known as the Casimir effect. The Casimir effect is a force that pushes together two plates of metal placed near each other in a vacuum. The force increases the closer the plates are pressed together.

The findings could have dramatic implications on nanotechnology, as well as research into new forms of energy.
