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

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

Effective characterisation of atomic-scale dislocations is important to understand a crystalline material’s physical properties, its processing or natural history, or its suitability for certain ...

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 ...

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...
