Van der Waals interaction between surface and particle with giant polarizability
We show that a nanoparticle with a “giant” polarizability (i.e., with the polarizability volume significantly exceeding the particle volume) placed in the vicinity of a surface experiences a strongly increased van der Waals force at distances comparable ...

Cation-selective layered silicon oxide membranes for power generation
Inorganic two-dimensional membranes offer a new approach to modulating mass transport at the nanoscale. These membranes, which can harness the van der Waals gap as a nanochannel and address persistent challenges in organic membranes, are limited to a few

Construction of a Universal Gel Model with Volume Phase Transition
The physical principle underlying the familiar condensation transition from vapor to liquid is the competition between the energetic tendency to condense owing to attractive forces among molecules of the fluid and the entropic tendency to disperse toward

Strain Engineering of Intrinsic Ferromagnetism in 2D van der Waals Materials
Since the discovery of the low-temperature, long-range ferromagnetic order in monolayers Cr2Ge2Te6 and CrI3, many efforts have been made to achieve a room temperature (RT) ferromagnet. The outstanding deformation ability of two-dimensional (2D) materials

Transport and deposition of cohesive pharmaceutical powders in human airway
Pharmaceutical powders used in inhalation therapy are in the size range of 1-5 microns and are usually cohesive. Understanding the cohesive behaviour of pharmaceutical powders during their transportation in human airway is significant in optimising ...

Neuromorphic van der Waals crystals for substantial energy generation
Controlling ion transport in nanofluidics is fundamental to numerous material applications but designing a material for ion selection is challenging. Here the authors report a confined van der Waals graphene oxide membrane as cation selective channel for
