Abnormal lung scans obtained from patients with pulmonary embolism, pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and carcinoma of the lung were analyzed in an attempt to classify the ...

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 ...

In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful new properties. Today, atomic-scale defects are carefully introduced during ...

A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials' mechanical strength, heat transfer, and ...

(Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional materials are essential for developing new ultra-compact electronic devices, but producing defect-free 2D materials is a challenge. However, discovery of new types of ...

Scientists have identified a new type of defect as the most common source of disorder in on-surface synthesized graphene nanoribbons, a novel class of carbon-based materials that may prove extremely ...

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 ...

February is Heart Health Month, a time of year to bring attention to one of the body’s most important internal organs, one that we cannot survive without. This month we’re discussing congenital heart ...
