Energy is not just a resource. It’s a possibility. A new quest by some physicists and engineers aims to use quantum mechanics to pull energy out of nothing. Nothing, in this case, means the quantum vacuum, the lowest-energy state of a field in quantum field theory. The quantum vacuum is not truly empty but contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of existence.
