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 ...
Semiconductors may be small, but the impacts they have are significant. Semiconductors used in life-dependent applications, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, life support systems, automotive safety ...
Material structures are rarely perfect, but researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have now identified a way to make them more so. By monitoring in real time how ...
Researchers in quantum mechanics believe they’ve found a standard way to assess the viability of quantum memory in silicon chips — meaning existing components can be used as the fabric for a future ...

Alloy design model offers faster, more accurate predictions by factoring in material defects
The new model takes into account an important class of material defects (grain boundaries) and the tendency of the mixed solutes to gather—or segregate—around the structural imperfections during alloy ...
Material science, at its core, is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the discovery and design of new materials. It combines elements of physics, chemistry and engineering to understand and ...
