The underlying structural disorder renders the concept of topological defects in amorphous solids difficult to apply and hinders a first-principle identification of the microscopic carriers of ...

Researchers working at the nanoscale have found that 3D-printed metal parts can stay mechanically strong even when they contain large numbers of defects. A peer-reviewed study on nano-architected ...

It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are ...

Engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. University of ...
