A recent study by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences redefines how liquids maintain their contact with solid surfaces—also known as wettability—from an intermolecular force perspective.

The scientists next obtained a theoretically expected signature of attractive electrodynamic forces among macromolecules vibrating at the same frequency in order to show a phase transition between ...

The assembly and stability of molecular complexes are governed by a delicate balance of intermolecular forces. These noncovalent interactions span a spectrum from directional hydrogen bonds to the ...

The actin and myosin complex (actomyosin) generates contraction force of a muscle utilizing the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis reaction. Many attempts have thus been made to explain the ...

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 ...
