Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a significant class of materials promising for photocatalysis, and defect ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

When a good die fails test and gets scrapped, often no one notices, because false failures look identical to real ones. Yet across the industry, these phantom defects are quietly eroding yield, ...

I have always been intrigued by the many ways scientists and engineers have devised to sense basic physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, voltage, current, and electric fields, to cite ...

Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...

Abstract: Point cloud clustering is a promising method for 3D surface defect diagnosis in manufacturing but requires manual clustering parameter selection, reducing usability. This paper proposes an ...

The birth defects were more likely, but still very uncommon, in infants conceived through certain fertility treatments, a large study found. By Teddy Rosenbluth Major heart defects are more common — ...

Point defect color centers acting as single-photon emitters are promising for quantum technology applications and have been extensively studied, e.g., in the 4H polytype of silicon carbide (SiC).

For progress in science, distinguishing between ideas or suggestions and solid experimental facts is critical, especially if it concerns a key issue. Such is the case for widespread use of defect ...
