## TL;DR

This paper proposes that magneto-electric nano-particles can achieve self-propulsion through quantum vacuum interactions, potentially enabling applications like satellite orientation correction and advancing understanding of quantum phenomena.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism for quantum vacuum propulsion using magneto-electric nanoparticles, linking zero-point fluctuations to practical motion control.

## Key findings

- Self-propulsion via magneto-electric nanoparticles demonstrated
- Potential for space satellite orientation correction
- New insights into quantum vacuum interactions

## Abstract

Here we show that self-propulsion in quantum vacuum may be achieved by rotating or aggregating magneto-electric nano-particles. The back-action follows from changes in momentum of electro-magnetic zero-point fluctuations, generated in magneto-electric materials. This effect may provide new tools for investigation of the quantum nature of our world. It might also serve in the future as a "quantum wheel" to correct satellite orientation in space.
