Belgium’s Tim Merlier won his second stage at this year’s Tour de France on Sunday, outsprinting Jonathan Milan and Arnaud De ...

Engineers in South Korea developed a bioinspired air filter that mimics nasal mucus, trapping more particles and lasting ...

One of the problems of conventional filters used in homes, businesses and public spaces is their poor performance. They rely ...

This study investigates the potential of amygdalin, a natural compound found in almonds, peaches, and apples, as a therapeutic agent for HER2-positive ...

ESC (Electrostatic Chuck) is a core component in semiconductor manufacturing equipment that uses electrostatic field force to ...

A May 13, 2016 University of Basel press release (also on EurekAlert), which originated the news item, provides an explanation of van der Waals forces (the most comprehensive I’ve seen) and technical ...

van der Waals (vdW) materials are becoming increasingly popular in scientific and industrial applications because of their unique mixture of record electronic, optical, and mechanical properties.

This effect has been demonstrated in two-dimensional systems such as graphene or hexagonal boron nitride, where the atomic lattices interact through weak van der Waals forces. When these layers are ...

The minimum flying height, elastic deformation, and attractive pressure caused by van der Waals force under static air-bearing pressure were analyzed numerically using a spherical pad slider and a ...

Researchers demonstrate scalable integration of graphene and GaN devices using van der Waals forces, enabling high-performance CMOS-compatible electronics.

A team from Kyoto University has developed novel three-dimensional van der Waals frameworks that showcase exceptional stability and porosity. These materials, suitable for applications like gas ...
