Wafer breakage is the most serious impact of killer crystalline defects. About 0.1 to 0.2% of silicon wafers break. The higher the number of wafer breakages, the slower the time to market. Given the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have sought to leverage atomic defects to enhance electrocatalytic performance for clean energy applications. However, the inability to precisely study defects' ...

Emergence of anti-hyperuniform defect organization in active nematics. At high activity (left), topological defects are distributed nearly uniformly throughout the system. Reducing activity toward a ...
