Defects such as cracks in a material are responsible for everything from malfunctioning microchips to earthquakes. Now MIT engineers have developed a model to predict a defect's birthplace, its ...
One well-known example of such material defect that has been studied extensively over the past century, Upmanyu says, is a dislocation. It occurs when an entire atomic plane is missing from a ...
A recent review article published in Advanced Materials explored the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in transforming thermoelectric (TE) materials design. The ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a new approach to detail the formation of material changes at the atomic scale and in near-real time, an ...
AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...
