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

Researchers at Chungnam National University have developed a deep learning method that predicts stable defect configurations in nematic liquid crystals in milliseconds rather than hours. This rapid ...

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 ...

This is the case for Te-rich SnTe, which has natural Sn vacancies 11. Thus, building defect-tolerant materials has intrinsic limits when the defects are unavoidable — encoded in the basic genetics and ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Defects in transistors, such as unwanted impurities and broken chemical bonds in the various layers of the semiconductor, can limit their performance and reliability. These defects are becoming harder ...

Researchers have discovered that engineering one-dimensional line defects into certain materials can increase their electrical performance. Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in ...
