A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

The small and complicated features of TSVs give rise to different defect types. Defects can form during any of the TSV ...

When a home inspection report lands in your inbox, your eyes probably jump to the obvious: the roof, the furnace, maybe the age of the windows. Yet the single most dangerous warning sign is often ...

A new technical paper titled “Mitigation of Structural Defects during the Growth of 2D van der Waals Chalcogenides by Molecular Beam Epitaxy” was published by researchers at Penn State University.

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely ...
