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

(Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional materials are essential for developing new ultra-compact electronic devices, but producing defect-free 2D materials is a challenge. However, discovery of new types of ...

One well-known example of such material defect that has been studied extensively over the past century, Upmanyu says, is a dislocation. It occurs when an entire atomic plane is missing from a ...

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 ...

When we talk about defects, we generally think of flaws or impairments. However, as far as materials science is concerned, defects represent windows of opportunity. A new Collaborative Research Center ...

Material structures are rarely perfect, but researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have now identified a way to make them more so. By monitoring in real time how ...

SEMVision™ H20 enables better and faster analysis of nanoscale defects in leading-edge chips Second-generation “cold field emission” technology provides high-resolution imaging AI image recognition ...

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 ...
