Children born with heart defects, even minor ones, perform worse than other kids on third-grade reading and math tests, a new study finds. "While it was not surprising to see this finding in children ...

AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

Distinguishing acceptable deviation from actionable nonconformance involves nuanced engineering and legal considerations. Differentiating between a deviation, deficiency and defect becomes crucial for ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a significant class of materials promising for photocatalysis, and defect ...

Engineers are in search of the perfect battery, one that will give smartphones longer-operating times, let electric vehicles drive for hundreds of miles on a single charge and let utilities and ...

Oct. 30 (UPI) --New research has offered an explanation for why olivine lithium iron phosphate, a material used to make battery cathodes, often exceeds performance expectations. The material's secret ...

Electric vehicles are supposed to be the low‑maintenance workhorses of the energy transition, yet a growing trail of recalls, ...

Researchers have discovered that engineering one-dimensional line defects into certain materials can increase their electrical performance. Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in ...
