Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions ... assembly and properties of nanomaterials. Real-World Examples of Van der Waals ...

Experimental evidence of long-range attractive forces between cellular proteins has been obtained by researchers in France more than 50 years after the idea was first proposed. The forces are mediated ...

This behaviour is, for example, proven by the occurrence ... If this effect is larger than the (small remaining) attractive intermolecular forces, disorder is the consequence.
