"When we talk about defects in materials, people not in materials science often assume defects are bad, and that's not necessarily true," Spurgeon said. "Defects can actually strengthen certain ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

NCSOFT western publishing division NC America will publish emptyvessel-developed close-quarter cyberpunk shooter DEFEECT, the companies announced. It will be available on “multiple platforms,” ...

Matt is a sicko for retro FPS games, fighting games, Metroidvanias, roguelikes, and RPGs. Some of his current favorite games include the Final Fantasy series, Street Fighter 6, Slay the Spire, Path of ...

Researchers from Cornell University, TSMC, and ASM used electron ptychography for atomic-scale defect inspection of transistors. The computational imaging method uses an extremely precise electron ...

Researchers propose a new alignment-aware state-space fusion framework called MambaAlign that produces tighter, less fragmented anomaly maps, and is substantially more robust to modest misalignment ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a sophisticated nanoscale characterization approach that combines the elevated spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with infrared (IR) ...
