Scientists engineer the purest ever silicon to build reliable qubits that can be manufactured to the size of a pinhead on a chip and power million-qubit quantum computers in the future.
Cornell researchers took a novel approach to explore the way microstructure emerges in a 3D-printed metal alloy: They bombarded it with X-rays while the material was being printed.
Cornell researchers used X-ray diffraction to study how microscale phenomena such as bending and fragmentation emerge in the nickel-based superalloy IN625 as it is being 3D printed.
