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

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 ...

It's been a while since we last had a trailer scored by the masterful Mick Gordon, best known for his storming, award-winning Doom soundtracks. But he's back, and he joins a team of devs with past ...

Topological defects govern how many advanced materials behave, but predicting them has traditionally required slow, ...

I recently had to update my password on a site that I joined many, many years ago -- far enough in the past that a "good enough" password was "any five characters." The site now wanted me to have a ...

The current defect inspection systems for packaging are running out of steam for the latest advanced packages, prompting the need for new tools in the market. All of this comes at a time when the ...

During 7nm gate poly removal process, polysilicon is removed exposing both NFET and PFET fins in preparation for high-k gate oxide. If the polysilicon etch is too aggressive or the source and drain ...

The prevention of data errors in a hard disk by invalidating bad sectors. Built into the drive itself, defect tables are used to identify the bad sectors that are encountered when the drive is first ...

The system, developed by Panevo, a Canadian clear technology and manufacturing analytics company, reportedly achieved approximately 97% detection reliability with minimal false positives of Muskoka’s ...
