Defect engineering is the deliberate introduction, removal, or manipulation of structural imperfections in nanomaterials to tailor their properties for specific applications. Unlike the traditional ...

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the septum, which is the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart. In many cases, the hole closes on its own. A ventricular septal defect is a ...

In diamonds (and other semiconducting materials), defects are a quantum sensor's best friend. That's because defects, essentially a jostled arrangement of atoms, sometimes contain electrons with an ...

Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without destroying their structure. Most methods send sound waves into the material and ...

Variation is becoming a bigger problem in multi-die assemblies with TSVs and hybrid bonding. Multi-modal approaches are required to test these devices. AI plays a role in improving defect capture rate ...

Defects in angioplasty balloon material, which result in product discards, may represent a significant portion of production. Abbas Tcharkhtchi and Erik Andersen Angioplasty balloons are critical ...

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 ...

Semiconductor manufacturing creates a wealth of data – from materials, products, factory subsystems and equipment. But how do we best utilize that information to optimize processes and reach the goal ...
