The characterization of the processing-induced defects is an essential step for developing defect-free processing, which is important to the assurance of structural reliability of brittle ceramics. The multiscale X-ray computed tomography, consisting of micro-CT as a wide-field and low-resolution system and nano-CT as a narrow-field and high-resolution system, is suitable for observing crack-like defects with small length and with very small crack opening displacement. Here we applied this powerful imaging tool in order to reveal the complicated three-dimensional morphology of defects evolved during sintering of alumina. The hierarchical packing structure of granules was the origin of several types of strength-limiting defects, which could not be eliminated due to the differential sintering of heterogeneous microstructures. This imaging technique of internal defects provides a link between the processing and the fracture strength for the development of structural materials.

Unlabelled: Ribosome biogenesis is a highly regulated cellular process requiring a large cohort of accessory factors to ensure the accurate production of ribosomes. Dysregulation of ribosome biogenesis is associated with the development of various human diseases, including cancer. The Las1L-Nol9 endonuclease-kinase complex is essential for the cleavage of the rRNA internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2), the phosphorylation of the 5'-hydroxyl end of the resulting precursor, and, thus, the maturation of the 60S ribosome.

Particle attachment and neck formation inside TiO nanoparticle networks determine materials performance in sensing, photo-electrochemistry, and catalysis. Nanoparticle necks can feature point defects with potential impact on the separation and recombination of photogenerated charges. Here, we investigated with electron paramagnetic resonance a point defect that traps electrons and predominantly forms in aggregated TiO nanoparticle systems.

The development of high-precision large-area optical coatings and devices comprising low-dimensional materials hinges on scalable solution-based manufacturability with control over exfoliation procedure-dependent effects. As such, it is critical to understand the influence of technique-induced transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) optical properties that impact the design, performance, and integration of advanced optical coatings and devices. Here, we examine the optical properties of semiconducting MoS films from the exfoliation formulations of four prominent approaches: solvent-mediated exfoliation, chemical exfoliation with phase reconversion, redox exfoliation, and native redox exfoliation.
