Vacuum

Vacuum logo #21000 Vacuum is space that is devoid of matter. The word stems from the Latin adjective vacuus for `vacant` or `void`. An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure. Physicists often discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they sometimes simply call `vacuum` o...

vacuum logo #21160In the simplest sense, empty space. However, since a vacuum, either natural or artificial, is never completely empty, the term needs a modifier. Thus scientists speak of a hard vacuum, quantum vacuum, and so forth. See also Casimir effect, vacuum energy drive, and zero point energy.

Vacuum

Vacuum logo #21217A vacuum is a space from which the gas has been removed. In fact it is impossible to obtain a perfect vacuum as any material surrounding a vacuum will have a vapour pressure and will thus release particles into the vacuum. In general use the term refers to gases at very low pressures such as exist at the limit of the earth' s atmosphere. The neares...
