Researchers have discovered that engineering one-dimensional line defects into certain materials can increase their electrical performance. Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in ...

A defect found in barium stannate (BaSnO3) perovskite crystals could one day lead to a new type of transparent conductive film, according to scientists at the University of Minnesota. The defect is a ...

In recent years, the development of quantum computers beyond the capability of classical computers has become a new frontier in science and technology and a key direction to realize quantum supremacy.

Full-blown process excursions that affect every wafer are comparatively easy for fabs to detect and fix. However, “onesie-twosie,” lower-volume excursions can go unresolved for months or even years.

Several vendors are ramping up new inspection equipment based on infrared, optical, and X-ray technologies in an effort to reduce defects in current and future IC packages. While all of these ...

Boeing Co. has expanded inspections of newly produced 787 Dreamliners after finding a previously disclosed manufacturing defect in sections of the jet where it hadn’t been initially detected, ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
