Scientists have turned a longstanding challenge in electronics—material defects—into a quantum-enhanced solution, paving the way for new-generation ultra-low-power spintronic devices. Spintronics, ...

Researchers have recently discovered that irradiation-induced defects can drive nearby atoms in silicon carbide (SiC) to rearrange and form a local "core-shell" structure at the atomic scale. The ...

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 ...

Complex lead halides with the perovskite structure has been extensively studied in recent years in terms of radiation hardness. Many researchers found surprisingly high resistance of various ...

A study led by University of Oxford and Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers has uncovered how exposure to hydrogen atoms dynamically alters the internal structure of stainless steel. The ...

The concept of zero defect manufacturing has been around for decades, arising first in the aerospace and defense industry. Since then, this manufacturing approach has been adopted by the automotive ...
