By showing practical ways to detect when and where these defects form, US researchers can help make future devices more ...

Future devices will continue to probe the frontier of the very small, and at scales where functionality depends on mere atoms, even the tiniest flaw matters. Researchers at Rice University have shown ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures a ...

Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...
