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 ...

Abnormal lung scans obtained from patients with pulmonary embolism, pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and carcinoma of the lung were analyzed in an attempt to classify the ...

(Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional materials are essential for developing new ultra-compact electronic devices, but producing defect-free 2D materials is a challenge. However, discovery of new types of ...

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 ...

The nose occupies the most prominent part of the face. It consists of several subunits, with the nasal alar being the most distinct and delicate. Alongside other subunits, the nasal alar contributes ...

Scientists have identified a new type of defect as the most common source of disorder in on-surface synthesized graphene nanoribbons, a novel class of carbon-based materials that may prove extremely ...

February is Heart Health Month, a time of year to bring attention to one of the body’s most important internal organs, one that we cannot survive without. This month we’re discussing congenital heart ...
