AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...

Philosophical Transactions: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, Vol. 371, No. 1988, New frontiers in anisotropic fluid—particle composites (13 April 2013), pp. 1-15 (15 pages) Thin liquid ...

The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics offers pivotal insights into how geometric constraints influence material properties at the micro‐ and nanoscale. Curved ...

Insights into atomic-scale defects may enable next-generation thin-film transistors for smartphones, televisions, and flexible electronics. (Nanowerk News) Many displays found in smartphones and ...

MADISON – Scientists have no problem making a menagerie of nanometer-sized objects -- wires, tubes, belts, and even tree-like structures. What they sometimes have been unable to do is explain ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are thin materials (i.e., one-atom thick) with advantageous electronic properties. These materials have proved to be promising for the development of thinner, ...

A research team from the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, has unveiled an approach to improve irradiation resistance through high entropy crystalline and ...

AMES, Iowa - Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

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 ...
