Abstract
Large extra dimensions could lower the Planck scale to experimentally accessible values. Not only is the Planck scale the energy scale at which effects of modified gravity become important. The Planck length also acts as a minimal length in nature, providing a natural ultraviolet cutoff and a limit to the possible resolution of spacetime.In this Letter we examine the influence of the minimal length on the Casimir energy between two plates.

Summary
The study of models with Large eXtra Dimensions (LXDs) has recently received a great deal of attention These models, which are motivated by string theory[1, 2, 3], provide us with an extension to the standard model (SM) in which observables can be computed and predictions for tests beyond the SM can be addressed. Due to its higher dimensional character, the gravitational force at small distances is much stronger as it goes in the radial distance r with the power −d − 1 instead of the usual −1 This results in a lowering of the Planck scale to a new fundamental scale, Mf , and gives rise to the exciting possibility of TeV scale GUTs [7].
