I was thinking about the claim that water wetter increases flow rate by lowering water's viscosity, and it hit me that soap decreases surface tension of water drastically, almost completely ...

The presence of the novel intermolecular surface force -- which was demonstrated for the first time based on the present hydration analyses -- was a marked discovery.

For scurrying upside down on smooth ceilings and other gravity-defying feats, lizards known as geckos may exploit intermolecular forces between the surface and billions of tiny stalks under their ...

The amount of friction generated depends on numerous factors, including the minute intermolecular forces acting between the two surfaces in contact -- so-called van der Waals forces.

Science, founded by Thomas A. Edison in 1880 and published by AAAS, today ranks as the world's largest circulation general science journal. Published 51 times a year, Science is renowned for its ...

The interactions in solution between purine or pyrimidine bases and polybenzenoid aromatic hydrocarbons probably consist in a vertical, stacking-type physical association. By molecular orbital ...

Experimental evidence of long-range attractive forces between cellular proteins has been obtained by researchers in France more than 50 years after the idea was first proposed. The forces are mediated ...

THE liquid aliphatic alcohols show in the region of 3 two C-H bands, 2870–2890 cm.1 and 2950–5970 cm.1, and a very large and intense band at about 3350 cm.1, which is generally attributed to a ...
