A new study suggests that crystal defects in diamond may hold the key to scalable quantum interconnects. Connecting large ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to unveil a novel approach to comprehend small defects known as dislocations in polycrystalline materials.

Effective characterisation of atomic-scale dislocations is important to understand a crystalline material’s physical properties, its processing or natural history, or its suitability for certain ...

A shock wave traveling through a material can create defects known as dislocations – tiny shifts in the material’s crystal that propagate through it, leaving what are known as stacking faults behind.

As the aerospace sector pursues propulsion systems that are cleaner, quieter, and more efficient, materials used in turbine components face increasingly demanding thermal and mechanical environments.

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...
