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 ...
Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...
Material structures are rarely perfect, but researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have now identified a way to make them more so. By monitoring in real time how ...
Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections in the materials they use. Now a new line of research flips that problem on ...
