• The underlying migration mechanism of Mg 2+ in cathode materials and roles of defects in Mg 2+ migration in cathode materials were studied. • Applications of defect engineering to Mg 2+ migration in ...

Lithium dendrites cause poor performance and even explosions in batteries with flammable liquid electrolytes. How these dendrites grow, even with a solid electrolytes, is still a mystery, but ...

Integrated circuits have become increasingly more reliable as the technology has progressed, but even a perfectly produced processor operated under the most rigorously maintained environment will fail ...

This illustration depicts a non-destructive evaluation system empowered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate and analyze internal material defects. Leveraging virtual defect ...
