This work was supported by grant CSI4017 of the Casimir program of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Netherlands.
In 1948, he and a student, Dik Polder, wrote the paper predicting the Casimir Effect.
But if the plates could be moved even closer together, the Casimir Effect would grow.
But the force, known as the Casimir Effect, was verified in 1996.

The Bell Labs researchers say the Casimir Effect might be used in future microscopic devices to detect nearby objects, or to set off small movements.
Normal folks like DeGraff and Léger — they tested themselves, naturally — scanned red, but patients with the Casimir complaint appeared onscreen a deep, flickering blue.
As the sphere was lowered toward one side of the silicon seesaw, the Casimir Effect caused the seesaw to twist up slightly.
"It's the first case where the Casimir Effect might be actually useful," said Dr. Larry Spruch, a professor emeritus of physics at New York University.
The answer is that now things in the computing industry have become so small that the Casimir force is starting to affect them.
The Casimir Effect first postulated in 1948 by Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir was a theoretical curiosity that had become important in the physics of nanostructures.
