Korean researchers have developed a new analysis method capable of detecting “hidden defects” in semiconductors with a ...

Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...

In materials science, defects are usually seen as problems, unwanted microscopic features that degrade performance, reduce efficiency or shorten the lifespan of devices. But a recent breakthrough ...

Semiconductors are used in devices such as memory chips and solar cells, and within them may exist invisible defects that ...

A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...

Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. These linear defects, or dislocations, are what ...

Cadmium selenide nanoplatelets provide a promising foundation for the development of innovative electronic materials. Since the turn of the millennium, researchers around the world have taken a ...

Semiconductors may be small, but the impacts they have are significant. Semiconductors used in life-dependent applications, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, life support systems, automotive safety ...

The task has so far remained elusive, but one of the materials that has garnered a lot of attention as a possible qubit platform is hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a 2D material that can host ...

We apply materials science to develop sustainable solutions that address critical industry needs for energy efficiency, resource conservation, and material performance. The Materials Science ...
