Van der Waals interactions and the limits of isolated atom models at interfaces

Van der Waals interactions and the limits of isolated atom models at interfaces

Van der Waals forces are individually weak, but on scale can drive many nano- and macroscopic processes. Here, Kawai et al. directly measure the van der Waals interactions between noble gas atom pairs and show how this changes with atom size and surface adsorption.
