Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin ...

In a process that takes just seconds, James Tour ’s group at Rice University can transform discarded glass and coal waste to ...

Here is why gallium nitride (GaN) is the natural successor to silicon MOSFETs in the 100–650 V class of power devices.

Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

“These findings resolve the long-standing controversy on the existence of hexagonal diamond,” researchers said.

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Supraparticles are microscopic spheres composed of thousands ...

Scientists studying Mars may have uncovered a brand-new mineral hidden in the planet’s ancient sulfate deposits. By combining laboratory experiments with orbital data, researchers identified an ...

A newly studied ferroelectric crystal can tune and manipulate ultraviolet and blue light in ways that could transform integrated photonics.

Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological ...

Physicists hunting for new superconductors often look for a very specific shape hidden in ...
