The interface between semiconductor materials and metal electrodes plays a critical role in the performance of electronic devices. Surface morphology, chemical composition, and electronic structure at the interface directly impact key factors such as conductivity, stability, and overall device reliability. Therefore, comprehensive characterization of the semiconductor-metal interface is essential ...
Why Precise Nanoscale Sampling Matters In cutting-edge fields like materials science, life sciences, and semiconductor device research, precision sampling at the nanoscale is often a prerequisite for meaningful results. Whether it's extracting a specific failure site from a semiconductor die or isolating organelles from a single cell, conventional sampling methods often fall short, lacking the res...
Understanding the Role of Porosity in Bone Tissue Engineering 3D-printed bioactive bone scaffolds play a critical role in bone tissue engineering, where porosity is a key parameter that influences cell adhesion, proliferation, nutrient transport, and new bone formation. Both excessively high and low porosity levels can negatively impact the scaffold’s mechanical stability and biological perf...
