Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging systems. But even in well-studied materials, some fundamental behaviors remain ...

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 ...

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 ...

COVID-19 vaccination in early pregnancy (≤20 weeks of gestation) is not associated with increased prevalence of major structural birth defects, according to a study published online March 14 in ...

A new technical paper titled “Mitigation of Structural Defects during the Growth of 2D van der Waals Chalcogenides by Molecular Beam Epitaxy” was published by researchers at Penn State University.

Among vaccinated people, no differences were seen in the prevalence of birth defects by brand. (HealthDay News) — COVID-19 vaccination in early pregnancy (≤20 weeks of gestation) is not associated ...
