Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

The semiconductor chips driving modern-day computer processors are covered in billions of individual transistors, each of ...

A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

Computer chips are everywhere. They power our smartphones, run our cars, and even manage our household appliances. With such intense demand, the race to build faster, more efficient chips never slows.

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the ...
