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 ...

Researchers from Kyoto University have achieved a significant advancement in materials science by developing the world's first three-dimensional van der Waals open frameworks (WaaFs). This innovation ...

Porous materials are widely used for gas storage, separation, catalysis, and environmental purification. Their functionality arises from nanoscale pores that allow molecules to be selectively captured ...

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 ...

A new technical paper titled “Field-free deterministic switching of all–van der Waals spin-orbit torque system above room temperature” was published by researchers at MIT, with funding by the NSF and ...

With THz spectroscopy scaled down to chip-sized, researchers identified a potential new way to control quantum materials. (Nanowerk News) In the right combinations and conditions, two-dimensional ...

A researcher at The University of Manchester has been awarded a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant to ...
