The most commonly seen defects at birth are congenital heart defects (CHD). These anomalies arise when there is a failure of the heart or its major blood vessels to form properly during embryonic ...

When you “snap” a photo with a point-and-shoot camera or a cell phone, you hope to obtain a blemish-free image. The makers of CMOS image sensors used in these and other electronic products have a ...

Scientists used Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to visualize topological defects. They were able to do so by passing electrons and observing their deflections through a thin magnetic ...

A technical paper titled “Accelerating Defect Predictions in Semiconductors Using Graph Neural Networks” was published by researchers at Purdue University, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, ...

Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...

The size and performance advantages of FinFETs are leading to a general industry adoption of these 3D transistors at the more advanced technology nodes. These complex transistors, however, exacerbate ...

Acyanotic heart disease is a type of congenital heart defect that causes abnormal blood flow. It can range from mild to severe. Babies with the condition can seem out of breath and fatigued.

An atrial septal defect is a congenital heart issue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it develops in about 1 in 1,859 babies in the United States. An atrial septal ...
