Definition: Van der Waals materials encompass a broad category of layered substances, including individual van der Waals materials and their engineered stacks known as van der Waals heterostructures, ...

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

Van der Waals heterostructures are engineered by stacking different van der Waals materials in a controlled sequence, allowing the creation of new materials with tailored properties. This technique ...

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

No, it’s none of those things. The answer has to do with chemistry! The gecko sticks with temporary attractive forces between molecules called Van der Waals forces. They are easily formed and broken ...

For the development of van der Waals thin films with high electronic performance, mechanical stretchability, and permeability for highly flexible, adaptable and breathable bioelectronic membranes. The ...

However, a more viable transformation, according to Prof. Moshe Ben Shalom, head of the Quantum Layered Matter Group at Tel Aviv University, involves reconfiguring graphite’s atomic layers by subtly ...
