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 ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are only a few atoms thick, are known to exhibit unique electrical, mechanical and ...

Van der Waals forces, once deemed too weak for structural integrity, have been shown to create stable, highly porous frameworks with exceptional thermal resilience and reversible assembly, paving the ...

In general, when you measure material properties such as optical permittivity, your measurement doesn’t depend on the direction in which you make it. However, recent research has shown that this is ...

Surface functionalization of nanostructured metal oxides with catalysts is a promising and versatile method across various chemical research fields. It is extensively employed in catalysis-based ...

A research team has made a significant breakthrough in thin film deposition technology. A research team, led by Professor Joonki Suh in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the ...
