The role of dispersion forces in molecule–metal bonding has often been underestimated or ignored. Two groups now report independent single-molecule experiments that illustrate and quantify the effect ...

Modelling dispersion interactions with traditional density functional theory (DFT) is a challenge that has been extensively addressed in the past decade. The exchange-dipole moment (XDM), among others ...

Figure 1: Carbon nanotube immersed in an ultracold quantum gas. Figure 2b shows the loss curve for a thermal cloud overlapping with the nanotube at d = 7.6 µm (red points). To distinguish between ...

Oriented attachment of nanocrystalline subunits is recognized as a common crystallization pathway that is closely related to formation of nanoparticle superlattices, mesocrystals, and other ...
