the structure of the molecular adsorbate layer changes continuously, and no discrete phase transitions occur. This is caused by a dominant substrate-mediated repulsive intermolecular interaction ...

Now in a new paper published in Science Advances, the researchers demonstrate that electrodynamic forces can indeed excite phase transitions in biomolecules. They first use a refined version of their ...

Steric forces are repulsive forces that arise when molecules or surfaces come into close contact and their electron clouds overlap. The SFA can measure these forces and provide insights into the ...

The periodic table arranges all chemical elements in special ways. Different types of chemical bonding, and patterns and trends can be observed in their arrangement. Structure and bonding Elements ...
