Nuclear power plants are exposed to high-energy radiation, which degrades materials over time. Particles and rays interact with critical components, particularly in the reactor core, leading to ...

Researchers develop a simple method to build stable, atom-thick metal layers using tiny defects in carbon, enabling efficient use of metals across technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Using metals in ...

Researchers have looked at what limits the efficiency of a promising solar material to reveal the nature of multiple different kinds of defects, their varied roles in device efficiency and their ...

Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) is a highly sensitive, non-destructive method for probing atomic-scale imperfections in a broad spectrum of materials, from metals and ceramics to polymers and ...
