AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

The small and complicated features of TSVs give rise to different defect types. Defects can form during any of the TSV ...

Scientists across the world are working to make quantum technologies viable at scale—an achievement that requires a reliable way to generate qubits, or quantum bits, which are the fundamental units of ...

(Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional materials are essential for developing new ultra-compact electronic devices, but producing defect-free 2D materials is a challenge. However, discovery of new types of ...

Material structures are rarely perfect, but researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have now identified a way to make them more so. By monitoring in real time how ...

Metrology is the science of measuring, characterizing, and analyzing materials. Within metrology, there are several technologies used to detect material defects on a very small scale – precision on ...

The range of materials that concrete contains, such as stone, chalk, and sand, scatters normal sound waves, making clear ...
