In low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), gains in child survival reveal an important reality: birth defects account for a growing share of deaths among children younger than 5 years and ...

Abstract: Visual inspection of surface defects in industrial products is crucial for quality control but remains challenging due to unpredictable and multiscale defects. Unsupervised anomaly detection ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Introduction: Dilutely doped ferroelectric materials are of interest, as engineering these materials by introducing point defects via doping often leads to unique behavior not otherwise achievable in ...

Metastable high-pressure materials often possess outstanding properties. However, the stabilization of metastable high-pressure materials usually is challenging due to the very low kinetic barrier for ...

The structure and physical properties of liquid crystal (LC) mixtures are a function of composition, and small changes can have pronounced effects on observables, such as phase-transition temperatures ...

Liquid crystal elastomers represent a novel class of programmable shape-transforming materials whose shape-change trajectory is encoded in the material’s nematic director field. Using ...

In this article we present experimental results demonstrating an approach to controlling the size and spatial patterning of defect domains in a smectic liquid crystal (LC) by geometric confinement in ...

Abstract: The performance of CdZnTe room-temperature X-ray and gamma-ray detectors is determined by material and device defects that govern carrier transport trough the device. In this contribution, ...
