The small and complicated features of TSVs give rise to different defect types. Defects can form during any of the TSV ...

If you’ve been following the global push to decarbonize heavy industry and transport, you know green hydrogen production is ...

Atomic-scale defects in crystals can make excellent quantum memories that can be written and read out using lasers, and could form the basis of future quantum communications and computing systems.

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 ...

Materials scientists have long known that introducing defects into three-dimensional materials can improve their mechanical and electronic properties. Now a new Northwestern study finds how defects ...

David Awschalom, the Liew Family Professor in Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, and his colleagues study a technologically useful diamond defect called a nitrogen vacancy center. NV ...

Chipmakers are plotting out a strategy to scale the transistor to 10nm and beyond. Migrating to these nodes presents a number of challenges, but one issue is starting to gain more attention in the ...

Defect states refer to electronic energy levels that arise from imperfections or irregularities in the crystal structure of materials, particularly in semiconductors and insulators. These ...
