Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

Researchers used advanced electron ptychography to visualize atomic-scale defects inside modern transistors. The technique reveals interface roughness affecting electron flow, enabling better ...

Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

Tiny defects have been a long-standing challenge for the semiconductor industry. The game-changer is electron ptychography, a computational imaging method in which an electron microscope pixel array ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

Last week, IBM trumpeted its contributions to a rather unusual paper: the production of a molecule with a half-Möbius topology, assisted by an algorithm run in part on a quantum computer. There was, ...

Professor Saw Wai Hla's groundbreaking atomic-scale imaging research, recognized by the DOE and prestigious awards, advances understanding and manipulation of rare earth elements critical to modern ...

A meteorite that fell in Germany in 1724 contains a form of silica that conducts heat in a stable manner and baffles physicists.

IN the preface it is stated that whereas in writing the first edition the author felt unhappy because there were not enough experimental facts and theoretical calculations, he now feels there are ...
