Zero-point energy, the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have
In the critically acclaimed game series from Valve Corporation, Half-Life, a "zero-point energy field manipulator" (popularly known as 'gravity gun'), meant to handle sensitive, anomalous and hazardous materials, is used as both a weapon to throw objects at enemies in high speeds, as a primary attack, and a tool to solve physics puzzles consisting in moving objects of considerable weight.

Robert Jaffe of MIT argues that the Casimir force should not be considered evidence for vacuum energy, since it can be derived in QED without reference to vacuum energy by considering charge-current interactions (the radiation-reaction picture).
