"When we talk about defects in materials, people not in materials science often assume defects are bad, and that's not necessarily true," Spurgeon said. "Defects can actually strengthen certain ...

Grab your lab coat, or at least pretend you have one, and prepare to zoom way, way in because we're about to explore a world that's been hiding right under your nose this whole time. Ever wondered ...

Insights for manufacturers on the benefits of AI vision inspection from Norfolk Southern. Using this technology, the rail company identified more than twenty-five thousand defects, including ...

A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials' mechanical strength, heat transfer, and energy-conversion efficiency. (Nanowerk News) In biology, defects are generally bad.

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Matt is a sicko for retro FPS games, fighting games, Metroidvanias, roguelikes, and RPGs. Some of his current favorite games include the Final Fantasy series, Street Fighter 6, Slay the Spire, Path of ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

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 ...

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a sophisticated nanoscale characterization approach that combines the elevated spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with infrared (IR) ...
