Van der Waals forces are essential for understanding the nuances of molecular interactions and the physical properties of materials. Their influence extends from the macroscopic properties of ...

Molecular interactions make up the basic language ... Decreasing the size of cantilevers should improve the force resolution, thereby permitting smaller forces to be measured, while finer nanotube ...

An early love of construction toys led the Scottish chemist to thread molecules together, opening up a new field of chemistry.

The researchers set out to understand what keeps Xist from spreading by examining the biophysical and molecular forces in the cell that appear to keep it caged. In a fruitful collaboration ...
