Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are thin and magnetic materials in which molecules or layers are held ...

Van der Waals forces, once deemed too weak for structural integrity, have been shown to create stable, highly porous frameworks with exceptional thermal resilience and reversible assembly, paving the ...

(Nanowerk News) The properties that make materials like semiconductors so sought after result from the way their atoms are connected, and insight into these atomic configurations can help scientists ...

A technical paper titled “Domain-dependent strain and stacking in two-dimensional van der Waals ferroelectrics” was published by researchers at Rice University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ...

Researchers from the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences, Kyoto University, have developed the first three-dimensional van der Waals open frameworks. This discovery challenges the common ...

Certain two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals-bonded bilayers (e.g., WTe₂ and h-BN) exhibit “sliding ferroelectricity (SF),” where electric polarization arises from specific stacking configurations ...
