Defect states refer to electronic energy levels that arise from imperfections or irregularities in the crystal structure of materials, particularly in semiconductors and insulators. These ...

Forget your regular ol’ 3D printer. Why not try using sound waves to form a 3D object? That’s exactly what researchers in Germany set out to do, making use of “acoustic holograms” to form distinct 3D ...

Metrology is the science of measuring, characterizing, and analyzing materials. Within metrology, there are several technologies used to detect material defects on a very small scale – precision on ...

When looking at calcite under a microscope, a scientist would immediately recognize the crystalline form of calcium carbonate by its rhombohedral appearance. That is, calcite is shaped like a ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new ...

Almost anytime physicists announce that they’ve discovered a new particle, whether it’s the Higgs boson or the recently bagged double-charm tetraquark, what they’ve actually spotted is a small bump ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The field of drug delivery has long been challenged by the need for precise, targeted methods to transport therapeutic agents within the body. Traditional approaches often ...
