Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. These linear defects, or dislocations, are what ...

An atrioventricular canal is a congenital heart defect that connects chambers of your child’s heart that shouldn’t be connected. Atrioventricular canals usually require surgical treatment. It usually ...

Korean researchers revealed that efficiency losses in heterojunction solar cells arise from two coexisting defect types – dangling bonds and weak silicon-silicon bonds. Their findings explain how ...

This paper reviews the research progress of layered double hydroxide (LDH) with various types of defects and its regulation strategies in recent years. Furthermore, the relationship between the ...

New research offers an enhanced understanding of common defects in transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) -- a potential replacement for silicon in computer chips -- and lays the foundation for ...

A congenital heart defect is a condition you’re born with. Types of heart defects vary in severity — with some, you’ll need surgery as a child, while others don’t need treatment until later in life or ...

(Nanowerk News) University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called ...
