They found that the driving forces behind the attachment are dipole–dipole forces that are not considered in DLVO theory. The dipole forces lead to faster attachment in less polar solutions ...

At high excitation frequencies, the cells orient their major axis nearly perpendicular to the oscillating force field in order ... the behaviour of an electric dipole in an oscillating ...

Van der Waals forces represent a fundamental type of interaction between molecules. Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions and ...
