A new study suggests that crystal defects in diamond may hold the key to scalable quantum interconnects. Connecting large ...

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, ...

The AI model rapidly maps boundary conditions to molecular alignment and defect locations, replacing hours of simulation and enabling fast exploration and inverse design of advanced optical materials.

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 ...

Researchers announced that they have achieved the world's first elucidation of how hydrogen produces free electrons through ...

Researchers in the lab of Asst. Prof. Tian Zhong of the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including postdoctoral researcher and first author Leonardo França (pictured), have explored ...

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used to store information. In a computer laptop, the binary ones and zeroes are ...

Mechanism by which hydrogen generates free electrons via an interaction with the defect in silicon Associate Professor ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...
