Lamb shift
Small difference in energy levels of hydrogen atom not predicted by Dirac equation, caused by interaction with zero-point fluctuations; won Nobel Prize

Negative Energy as Pressure Differential
A reinterpretation of negative energy not as non-existent 'exotic matter' but as a relative pressure difference in the vacuum (Zero-Point Energy), analogous to the Dirac Sea, which can be manipulated to create wormholes.
Quantum Gravitational Sensing
Josephson junction arrays can detect gravitational ripples in the zero-point energy field (perturbations in the ether), enabling sensing of normally undetectable quantum phenomena
Zero-Point Trampoline Effect
Zero-point energy can be accessed by creating oscillating interactions with the quantum vacuum, similar to a trampoline bounce, where each interaction with ZPE creates usable motion
