Letters to the editors. 100th anniversary of the birth of E.M. Lifshitz


A note on the history of experimental and theoretical research into molecular attraction forces between solids


Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Physics, Leninskie Gory 1 build. 2, Moscow, 119991, Russian Federation

In a brief followup to the talk by E.I. Kats on "Van der Waals, Casimir, and Lifshitz forces in soft matter" (see pp. 964—969 of this issue) at the E.M.—Lifshitz centennial session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, an interesting and instructive story was told by Nina Petrovna Danilova (Department of Low Temperature Physics and Superconductivity, Faculty of Physics, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University) of how E.M. Lifshitz was enlisted to explain the experimental results of I.I. Abrikosova and B.V. Derjaguin. The Editorial Board of "Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk" (UFN) ["Physics—Uspekhi"] journal found the story appropriate to be published in the "Letters to the Editor" section of UFN in a jubilee selection of works marking the centennial of E.M. Lifshitz' birth.
