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 ...

This type of structure is referred to as a van der Waals heterostructure. Since all atoms and molecules are attracted to each other by van der Waals (vdW) forces, there are virtually ... inaccessible ...

layered sheets arranged such that adjacent sheets interact via van der Waals forces. This makes them highly stretchable, permeable (allowing liquids and gases to pass in and out), and capable of ...
