Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great promise for photocatalysis, a key technology for sustainable energy solutions like water splitting. However, optimizing their performance requires precise ...

Defect engineering is the deliberate introduction, removal, or manipulation of structural imperfections in nanomaterials to tailor their properties for specific applications. Unlike the traditional ...

The Supreme Court of Utah recently found that an incorrect pre-construction geotechnical engineering report is a “defective design.” Thus, actions arising from an incorrect geotechnical report are ...

Photocatalytic materials harness solar radiation to drive chemical transformations, offering pathways to sustainable energy conversion and environmental remediation. Central to this approach is the ...

When we talk about defects, we generally think of flaws or impairments. However, as far as materials science is concerned, defects represent windows of opportunity. A new Collaborative Research Center ...

By engineering these defects and behaviors of solutes in alloys, Upmanyu says, humans can make stronger, cost-effective materials. His research focuses on another key defect: grain boundaries. These ...
