Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great promise for photocatalysis, a key technology for sustainable energy solutions like water splitting. However, optimizing their performance requires precise ...

In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful new properties. Today, atomic-scale defects are carefully introduced during ...

Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry transitions into an ordered state, it can form stable imperfections known as ...

Advancements in nanotechnology fabrication and characterization tools have facilitated a number of developments in the creation of new two-dimensional (2D) materials and gaining and understanding of ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that a "single atomic defect" in a layered 2D material can hold onto quantum information for microseconds at room temperature, underscoring the potential of 2D materials in ...

DAEJEON, South Korea, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --Topological defects govern how many advanced materials behave, but predicting them has traditionally required slow, resource-intensive simulations.

A recent review article published in Advanced Materials explored the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in transforming thermoelectric (TE) materials design. The ...

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 ...

Variation is becoming a bigger problem in multi-die assemblies with TSVs and hybrid bonding. Multi-modal approaches are required to test these devices. AI plays a role in improving defect capture rate ...
