An atrial septal defect is a congenital heart issue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it develops in about 1 in 1,859 babies in the United States. An atrial septal ...

A congenital heart defect is a condition you’re born with. Types of heart defects vary in severity — with some, you’ll need surgery as a child, while others don’t need treatment until later in life or ...

Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. These linear defects, or dislocations, are what ...

This paper reviews the research progress of layered double hydroxide (LDH) with various types of defects and its regulation strategies in recent years. Furthermore, the relationship between the ...

New research offers an enhanced understanding of common defects in transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) -- a potential replacement for silicon in computer chips -- and lays the foundation for ...

Defect inspection scientists from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology and The Chinese University of Hong Kong make a thorough review of new perspectives and ...

Defects in transistors, such as unwanted impurities and broken chemical bonds in the various layers of the semiconductor, can limit their performance and reliability. These defects are becoming harder ...

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It is not usually associated with birth defects. However, some research indicates it may increase the risk of certain ...

Reducing defects on the wafer edge, bevel, and backside is becoming essential as the complexity of developing leading-edge chips continue to increase, and where a single flaw can have costly ...
