Researchers from MESA+, the research institute for nanotechnology at the University of Twente, have developed a method to reduce the number of 'defects' in heterogeneous oxide materials. As a result, ...

A research team led by Dr. Jeong Min Park of the Nano Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists measured the atomic and electronic structure of a two-dimensional semiconductor to understand defects in the crystal structure. The measurements were made at the same time ...

Defects such as cracks in a material are responsible for everything from malfunctioning microchips to earthquakes. Now MIT engineers have developed a model to predict a defect's birthplace, its ...

Some imperfections pay big dividends. A Cornell-led collaboration used X-ray nanoimaging to gain an unprecedented view into solid-state electrolytes, revealing previously undetected crystal defects ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: Research, community service, internships and study abroad typically make summers memorable for many University of Delaware students. While the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has ...

(Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional materials are atomically thin, the most well-known being graphene, a single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms. The semiconductor industry is interested in using 2D ...

Shengxi Huang explains why Picoquant’s instruments are helping her to develop 2D materials that are highly efficient sources of single photons Hidden depths Shengxi Huang (left) with members of her ...

In a paper just published in Nature Materials, a team of researchers that includes William T.M. Irvine, assistant professor in physics at the University of Chicago, has succeeded in creating a defect ...
