Silicon carbide (SiC) is a crystalline material utilized to develop a wide array of electronic devices, including transistors and other high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature devices. As ...

The schematic illustrates the key mechanism for improving the mechanical properties of the carbide ceramic. Initially a single-phase solid solution, the material is doped with nitrogen (N), which is ...

(Nanowerk News) Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. Dislocations in materials can ...

Illustration of an intense laser pulse hitting a diamond crystal from top right, driving elastic and plastic waves (curved lines) through the material. The laser pulse creates linear defects, known as ...
