We discovered two new acceleration-induced quantum effects

Here is an Article in Scientific American about our discovery of two new acceleration-induced quantum effects that generalize the Unruh effect. One is the new phenomenon of acceleration-induced transparency and the other discovery is that acceleration-induced light emission (the Unruh effect) can be stimulated, for example, by a laser. 

The new findings are important because they bring acceleration-induced quantum phenomena much closer to experimental observability and because, by the equivalence principle, acceleration effects have gravitational analogs, for example, in black hole physics.
