A crystal is a solid with a periodic atomic structure and a deviation from the periodicity of the crystal lattice is called a defect. Crystalline defects include point defects (e.g. colour centres) ...

An international team of researchers, led by University of Toronto Engineering Professor Yu Zou, is using electric fields to control the motion of material defects. This work has important ...

Defect engineering is the deliberate introduction, removal, or manipulation of structural imperfections in nanomaterials to tailor their properties for specific applications. Unlike the traditional ...

A research team from the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, has unveiled a groundbreaking approach to improve irradiation resistance through high entropy ...
