Casimir effect is a small attractive force which acts
between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates. It
is due to quantum vacuum fluctuations of the
electromagnetic field.
The effect was predicted by the Dutch physicist Hendrick

vacuum contains virtual particles which are in a continuous
state of fluctuation.This can be caluculated by
