Sentences with phrase «weak electrostatic»

The new superlattices — called monolayer atomic crystal molecular superlattices — feature a molecular layer that becomes the second «sheet» that is held in place by van der Waals forces — weak electrostatic forces that keep otherwise neutral molecules attached to each other.

The polymer and the agent form hydrogen bonds, weak electrostatic connections between polymer's hydrogen and an agent's oxygen atom.

This suggests to the researchers that the first step in these reactions is dominated by weak electrostatic interactions between the reactants.

By applying DC and AC biases between the AFM probe and sample surface, DREEM can detect very weak electrostatic interaction differences when it scans over protein versus DNA regions.

Not exact matches

Intramolecular forces, which are still electrostatic, but because they do contain a full charge (that +1 for protons size, -1 for electrons mentioned above) but only partial charges they are considerably weaker.

But these structures are unstable because electrostatic forces are weak compared with the covalent bonds formed between atoms that share electrons.
