Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that ...

Researchers working at the nanoscale have found that 3D-printed metal parts can stay mechanically strong even when they contain large numbers of defects. A peer-reviewed study on nano-architected ...

Much of modern electronic and computing technology is based on one idea: add chemical impurities, or defects, to semiconductors to change their ability to conduct electricity. These altered materials ...

Quantum magnetometers are able to detect and visualize the tiniest damage in ferromagnetic materials. In aerospace technology or the automotive industry, they can help to significantly increase the ...

A recent review article published in Advanced Materials explored the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in transforming thermoelectric (TE) materials design. The ...

Advancements in nanotechnology fabrication and characterization tools have facilitated a number of developments in the creation of new two-dimensional (2D) materials and gaining and understanding of ...

SEMVision™ H20 enables better and faster analysis of nanoscale defects in leading-edge chips Second-generation “cold field emission” technology provides high-resolution imaging AI image recognition ...

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

Hidden semiconductor defects often pass inspection but fail later in operation. Learn how latent defects form, evade ...

Scientists have discovered that a "single atomic defect" in a layered 2D material can hold onto quantum information for microseconds at room temperature, underscoring the potential of 2D materials in ...

Semiconductors may be small, but the impacts they have are significant. Semiconductors used in life-dependent applications, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, life support systems, automotive safety ...
