Scientists Provide Accurate Description of van der Waals Forces Between Nanoscale Objects

The dynamics of the solar system and the attraction between celestial bodies, such as the moon and the Earth, are all governed by gravitational forces. Similar to these gravitational forces, attractive forces exist between objects at the nanoscale. These are known as van der Waals forces, which are ever-present in nature and are believed to play a major role in establishing the function, stability, and structure of various systems across the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science.
