Nature Communications 2023: Successful prediction of the Debye interaction at the molecular level using micro-sized colloidal particles
A round of applause for Hyang Mi and Yong Woo, whose master's research has now been published as 1st authors in Nature Communications. Through the use of optical laser tweezers at the colloidal scale, we have measured dipole-induced interactions, and the resulting interparticle force's scaling behavior has been confirmed to perfectly align with that of the Debye interaction, the 2nd contribution to the van der Waals interactions.
