By measuring these oscillations, the team worked out the Van der Waals force between the two Rydberg atoms. By adjusting the trapping laser beam, the team can move the Rydberg atoms closer together or ...

Van der Waals forces are fundamental for chemistry, biology and physics. However, they are among the weakest known chemical interactions, so they are notoriously hard to study.

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

Whether you’re a researcher, engineer, or enthusiast in nanophotonics and quantum materials, this webinar will offer valuable insights into the characterization and design of van der Waals materials ...

The team has developed a novel concept for van der Waals thin films (vdWTFs) made up of two-dimensional, layered sheets arranged such that adjacent sheets interact via van der Waals forces. This makes ...
