Scientists have developed an AI system that can rapidly predict complex defect patterns in liquid crystals, cutting simulation times from hours to milliseconds. The approach could transform how ...

Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...

Abstract: Currently, concrete structural damage detection primarily relies on industrial cameras to capture 2-D images for identifying cracks and voids. However, assessing the extent of damage using ...

The military academy’s appointment of Jen Easterly, who had been director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, was canceled after complaints from the far-right agitator Laura Loomer. By ...

Pull out any compact digital point-and-shoot camera at a party and everyone will want to take selfies. Pull out your smartphone, and people think you're tuning them out (even if you wanted to take a ...

Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. To evaluate the defect formation energies, first-principles ...

Abstract: We introduce a type of point defects in electromagnetic waves: topological spin defect, and provide examples of them. Such defect points have nontrivial topological spin textures surrounding ...
