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 ...

The dispersion forces between atoms and nanostuctures have been measured by using a scanning probe microscope in which the tip is a confined gas of ultracold atoms.

The frequency-dependent susceptibility of the molecules and of the electromagnetic field is used to calculate the force between two molecules at zero temperature. The field susceptibility at imaginary ...

Investment return varies depending on a multitude of factors. Dispersion is a measure used to predict the range of possible returns for an asset.
