However, in amorphous solids, the lack of long-range order makes detecting defect-like regions far more challenging. While several approaches have been proposed to identify soft, defect-like regions ...

The tool could help researchers design denser optical memory, study information loss in quantum systems and better understand how materials behave. Researchers at Argonne and the University of Chicago ...

A team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) developed an approach that enabled them to directly observe how electrons interact ...

When light hits a tiny defect embedded in a solid material like diamond or silicon carbide, it can kick the defect's ...

Aug. 3, 2026 — The performance of many next-generation devices depends on controlling how energy flows at extremely small scales. In the field of microelectronics — where devices continue to shrink ...
