Explore the role of powder cohesion in influencing flowability, processing efficiency, and manufacturing challenges.

Wang et al. (2004) studied the influence of van der Waals attraction in the pull-in instability of frestanding nanotube based nanotweezers. They determined the critical nanotube length for each ...

The weak interlayer attractions, or van der Waals attraction, allows the layers to be separated via the so-called “Scotch tape” method. The most famous 2D material, graphene, is a semimetallic ...

The nonlinear nature of electrostatic force among non-uniformly distributed like-charged particles holds the promise to find a non-touching stable equilibrium created by a balance between van der ...

The stickiness of a gecko’s toes is created by van der Waals forces, which is a non-electric and non-chemical attraction between non-polar molecules. Van der Waals are only prevalent as extremely ...

A close-up of Spiderman's setae, showing the molecular level attraction between the setae and the wall through van der Waals forces, highlighting the key role they play in his wall-crawling ...

Researchers report a new class of additive-free inks that exploit the unique ability of 2D nanosheets to form percolating networks, accommodating a given solvent.

“Electrostatic force, capillary force or van der Waals force has all been considered as driver of self-attraction in nanowires, but the cause remained debatable due to experimental challenges ...

The opposite charges in the feet and wall create electrostatic attraction. The force of attraction between uncharged molecules is called a van der Waals force.

Too slow, and it gives the van der Waals attraction time to take hold. At the perfect speed, though, the drop can perform a clean bounce, like a high jumper just clearing the bar.
