For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without breaking. Their secret lies in tiny, line-like defects called dislocations, ...

Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections in the materials they use. Now a new line of research flips that problem on ...

Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without destroying their fragile quantum states. In a new theoretical study, published in ...

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 ...

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 ...
