Asymmetric interactions between molecules may serve as a stabilizing factor for biological systems. A new model by ...

The atoms in a molecular covalent structure are held together as molecules by strong covalent bonds. There are weak intermolecular forces between different molecules. These weak forces are called van ...

We wanted to investigate the role of physical forces in the process," says lead author Shashank Shekhar, Assistant Professor of Physics at Emory University and a former Whitman Center Early Career ...

Abstract: Accurately measuring both in-plane and out-of-plane mechanical properties is essential for understanding material behavior at the nanoscale. Conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) ...
