A pile of moon dirt that refuses to collapse sounds like a prank pulled off by a mischievous astronaut, but it’s actually a ...

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are thin and magnetic materials in which molecules or layers are held ...

Researchers used the f(R, L, T) gravity framework and the Van der Waals equation of state to create a mathematically sound ...

Van der Waals materials, also known as two-dimensional (2D) materials, are layered materials composed of planes that are attached to each other via a weak van der Waals interaction. These include ...

Lunar samples serve as a critical link between orbital remote sensing and ground-truth measurements. Previous sample-return ...

This phenomenon has a number of applications in magnetic sensors and magnetic reading heads, which, however, have not been reported in van der Waals heterostructures before. The exchange bias effect ...

Using commonplace monomers that are popular components of acrylic paint, chemists have created a polymer that heals itself via van der Waals interactions—the weakest of weak bonds. Because it has the ...

Near the 100th anniversary of the discovery of ferroelectricity, so-called sliding ferroelectricity has been proposed and confirmed recently in a series of experiments that have stimulated remarkable ...

Excitons can be trapped by moiré potentials in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, forming ordered arrays of quantum dots. Excitons can also be trapped by defect potentials as single photon emitters ...
