Following a recent conjecture, there could be a sector of the Standard Model that, although massive, can preserve scale invariance properties. The topic has intersected a huge variety of fields, from astrophysics to neutrino physics, AdS/CFT duality and quantum gravity. Such unlike kind of particles (shortly unparticles) has to be weakly interacting with the rest of the Standard Model.

In this talk we present the un-Casimir effect, namely the study of the Casimir energy related to the presence of an un-particle component in addition to the electromagnetic field contribution. We derive this result by considering modifications of the Feynman propagator in the unparticle sector.

The un-Casimir effect offers a reliable testbed for unparticle physics. We find bounds on the unparticle scale that are independent on the effective coupling constant describing the interaction between the scale invariant sector and ordinary matter.
