Van der Waals forces represent a fundamental type of interaction between molecules. Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions and ...

Tel Aviv University researchers have discovered a way to rearrange graphite's atomic layers, potentially revolutionizing ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a groundbreaking method to transform graphite into materials with ...

Since all atoms and molecules are attracted to each other by van der Waals (vdW) forces, there are virtually no limitations to how these super-thin materials can be combined into stacks, similar to ...

Can copper be turned into gold? For centuries, alchemists pursued this dream, unaware that such a transformation requires a ...

Comparing the magnitude of these forces to the electrostatic and van der Waals forces calculated using DLVO theory showed that the non-DLVO forces dominate and provide a rationale for the ...

layered sheets arranged such that adjacent sheets interact via van der Waals forces. This makes them highly stretchable, permeable (allowing liquids and gases to pass in and out), and capable of ...

My research includes quantum-state-resolved laser spectroscopy and dynamics of van der Waals and hydrogen-bonded clusters ... and development of atomic force/scanning-tunneling methods for ...
