Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without destroying their structure. Most methods send sound waves into the material and ...

Wafer breakage is the most serious impact of killer crystalline defects. About 0.1 to 0.2% of silicon wafers break. The ...

The range of materials that concrete contains scatters normal sound waves, making clear imaging difficult to obtain.

The most commonly seen defects at birth are congenital heart defects (CHD). These anomalies arise when there is a failure of the heart or its major blood vessels to form properly during embryonic ...

The majority of congenital anomalies have no clear cause and some are genetic, others may be associated with the mother's health during pregnancy. Environmental factors can contribute to the ...

It's a read that's not safe for the squeamish: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Defect Levels Handbook vividly details the imperfections that the agency allows in the foods we eat. Altogether, ...

Scientists used Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to visualize topological defects. They were able to do so by passing electrons and observing their deflections through a thin magnetic ...

When you “snap” a photo with a point-and-shoot camera or a cell phone, you hope to obtain a blemish-free image. The makers of CMOS image sensors used in these and other electronic products have a ...
