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 ...

SURFACE tension, σ and viscosity, η, are regarded as manifestations of van der Waals' intermolecular forces of attraction. If, therefore, rise in temperature merely separates the molecules of a liquid ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are only a few atoms thick, are known to exhibit unique electrical, mechanical and ...

Let us take a binary solution made up of two volatile liquids 1 and 2. As the liquid start evaporating; a stage will come when the vapour pressure of liquid will be in equilibrium with the ...
