The range of materials that concrete contains, such as stone, chalk, and sand, scatters normal sound waves, making clear ...

Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without ...

When you “snap” a photo with a point-and-shoot camera or a cell phone, you hope to obtain a blemish-free image. The makers of CMOS image sensors used in these and other electronic products have a ...

The most commonly seen defects at birth are congenital heart defects (CHD). These anomalies arise when there is a failure of the heart or its major blood vessels to form properly during embryonic ...

Scientists used Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to visualize topological defects. They were able to do so by passing electrons and observing their deflections through a thin magnetic ...

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 ...

The size and performance advantages of FinFETs are leading to a general industry adoption of these 3D transistors at the more advanced technology nodes. These complex transistors, however, exacerbate ...
