A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage ...

Those silica gel packets inside certain food containers have "throw away" printed on them, but should you? They might be the ...

Most optical fibers use silica (SiO2) glass as their core material, but other types of glass are used in specialized applications. The five types of glass used in optical fibers are silica glass, ...

On compression of alpha-cristobalite SiO2 to pressures above approximately 12 GPa, a new polymorph known as cristobalite X-I forms. The existence of cristobalite X-I has been known for several decades ...

A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, focusing on epidemiological studies that assessed the association between silicosis or SiO2 exposure and CVDs. Specific cardiovascular diseases, ...
