Wafer breakage is the most serious impact of killer crystalline defects. About 0.1 to 0.2% of silicon wafers break. The higher the number of wafer breakages, the slower the time to market. Given the ...

Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, ...

Nanoindenters are precise, adaptable, and user-friendly tools for performing nanoscale mechanical testing on various films and surfaces. Nanoindentation systems with electromagnetic actuation achieve ...

This study is led by Prof. Shuangyin Wang (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University) and Prof. Chen Chen (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University).

Just like we recycle waste, repurposing excess CO2 from the atmosphere could be one way to abate the worsening climate crisis. In electrochemical reduction, CO2 is converted into industrial products ...
