Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections ...

Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...

The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics offers pivotal insights into how geometric constraints influence material properties at the micro‐ and nanoscale. Curved ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...

(Nanowerk News) A study published by researchers at the CEA challenges the ways in which defects in crystal structures are described, proposing a novel approach to characterizing and modeling crystal ...

Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their microstructure can be quite complicated, making them difficult to model ...

A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...
