Sensitive dependence of the electronic structure on the number of layers in few-layer phosphorene raises a question about the true nature of the interlayer interaction in so-called "van der Waals (vdW) solids". We performed quantum Monte Carlo calculations and found that the interlayer interaction in bulk black phosphorus and related few-layer phosphorene is associated with a significant charge...

Haemorrhagic diathesis of the newborn is usually characterized by a physiological deficiency of prothrombin and probably also by a deficiency of proconvertin (van Creveld, Paulssen, Ens, Mey, Versteegh and Versteeg, 1954). Sometimes a third clotting-factor, pro-accelerin, is also lacking. We found a simultaneous deficiency both of prothrombin and pro-accelerin in some cases of intra-uterine mel...

Combining direct surface force measurements with in situ regulation of surface potential provides an exceptional opportunity for investigating and manipulating interfacial phenomena. Recently, we studied the interaction between gold and mica surfaces in water with no added salt, while controlling the metal potential, and found that the surface charge at the metal may vary, and possibly even cha...
