We propose that the dynamic Casimir effect is a mechanism that converts the energy of neutron starquakes into γ-rays. This mechanism efficiently produces photons from electromagnetic Casimir energy released by the rapid motion of a dielectric medium into a vacuum. Estimates based on the cut-off energy of the gamma-ray bursts and the volume involved in a starquake indicate that the total gamma-ray energy emission is consonant with observational requirements.
