At great distances, particles attract through the gravitational force. Over the intermediate range the force is alternatively attractive and repulsive, with one or more oscillations.

Natural dispersion forces acting between molecules and particles arise from electromagnetic fields generated by quantum and thermal fluctuations. Here, Brügger et al.show that isotropic ...

It's not only opposites that attract -- new study shows like-charged particles can come together Date: March 1, 2024 Source: University of Oxford Summary: A study shows that similarly charged ...

When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container.

The Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) is a highly sensitive instrument used to measure the forces between surfaces at the nanoscale, enabling groundbreaking research in surface science, colloidal ...

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 ...
