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

An atrial septal defect is a congenital heart issue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it develops in about 1 in 1,859 babies in the United States. An atrial septal ...

Scientists used Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to visualize topological defects. They were able to do so by passing electrons and observing their deflections through a thin magnetic ...

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 ...

Researchers created a high-resolution 3D ultrasonic imaging system for concrete that uses broadband ultrasonic signals to automatically adapt to different types of concrete structures. WASHINGTON, Jan ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
