“Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) has long been included in the semiconductor roadmap as a lithographic pathway to enable continued device scaling. Tremendous progress has been ...

Abstract: To address the failure of strain–displacement decoupling in the existing inverse finite element method (iFEM) framework for dynamically evolving curved structures, this study proposes a ...

Standard optical microscopes can’t see objects smaller than half the wavelength of visible light. To get around this, scientists use a technique called scattering-type scanning near-field optical ...

Chemists have developed an efficient skeletal editing method for frequently used heteroaromatic structures. The technique could serve as a means to chemically modify biologically active compounds.

During the Civil War, both sides used firing squads to kill deserting soldiers. Today, people on death row can choose to die that way in some states. By Jacey Fortin On Friday, for the second time in ...
