Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging ...

A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials' mechanical strength, heat transfer, and energy-conversion efficiency. (Nanowerk News) In biology, defects are generally bad.

The use of artificial intelligence has enabled researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to gain a greater ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...

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 ...

Cadmium selenide nanoplatelets provide a promising foundation for the development of innovative electronic materials. Since the turn of the millennium, researchers around the world have taken a ...

RESEARCHERS at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an AI-based tool to help identify and measure ...

Sometimes, in creating an alloy out of multiple metals, defects and structural instability can occur in the material. Now, researchers are harnessing those imperfections to make the material stronger ...

Researchers at Rice University have identified why a widely studied organic semiconductor behaves unpredictably ...
