Cornell researchers have used advanced electron microscopy to identify "mouse bite" defects in 3D transistors for the first time ...

A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

Structural issues with a parking garage in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan prompted an engineer hired by the building owner to call 911 to report it, leading city officials to issue a ...

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely ...
