Researchers working at the nanoscale have found that 3D-printed metal parts can stay mechanically strong even when they contain large numbers of defects. A peer-reviewed study on nano-architected ...

Novosibirsk State Technical University has developed an intelligent quality control system for industry. The technology allows you to automatically find cracks, dents, and corrosion spots on a steel ...

An artistic impression of the experiment: 3D rendering of the micro-scale stainless steel grain investigated in this study showing the evolution of defects inside it with time (early – blue lines, ...

Defect states refer to electronic energy levels that arise from imperfections or irregularities in the crystal structure of materials, particularly in semiconductors and insulators. These ...

The concept of zero defect manufacturing has been around for decades, arising first in the aerospace and defense industry. Since then, this manufacturing approach has been adopted by the automotive ...
