Why do we care?

➔ ``There is plenty of room at the bottom'' (Feynman)

➔ Intermolecular bonds are weaker than chemical bond, yet crucial for many highly relevant processes

➔ Self-assembly➔ Supra-molecular➔ Adhesion, adsorption, physisorption➔ Liquid phase (Solid covalent, Gas ideal)➔ Nano- and meso-scale objects➔ Soft matter➔ Biological systems
