A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials' mechanical strength, heat transfer, and ...

In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful new properties. Today, atomic-scale defects are carefully introduced during ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

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 ...
