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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
