AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A “quantum material” that mimics a shark’s ability to detect the minute electric fields of small prey has been shown to perform well in ocean-like conditions, with potential ...

Electrical treeing represents a critical degradation mechanism in high voltage insulation systems, often leading to premature failure of polymeric materials. This phenomenon involves the progressive ...

Mastering board-level insulation principles like clearance, creepage, and dielectric strength is key to preventing arcing and ensuring long-term dependability.
