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 ...
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 ...
Researchers at CIC nanoGUNE BRTA and other institutes recently realized a spintronic device that leverages proximity effects alone, specifically a 2D graphene-based spin valve. The functioning of this ...
Certain two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals-bonded bilayers (e.g., WTe₂ and h-BN) exhibit “sliding ferroelectricity (SF),” where electric polarization arises from specific stacking configurations ...
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 ...
