Stresses and strain in silicon: 3-dimensional analytical capabilities for the non-invasive evaluation of strain fields in Si wafers and packaged chips
IC manufacturing and chip embedding processes can induce stresses in Si, which have the potential to affect device functionality and reliability and ultimately lead to device failure. One of the challenges for the future of semiconductor manufacturing and chip packaging is the development of …

The impact of age, exposure and genetics on homologous recombination at the engineered repeat sequence in mice
Mitotic homologous recombination is a critical pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and broken replication forks. Although homologous recombination is generally error-free, recombination between misaligned sequences can lead to deleterious sequence rearrangements, and conditions that …

Study of Calcium Phosphate Formation Driven by the Dissolution of a 45S5 Bioactive Glass
Although models have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of BG dissolution and subsequent CaP mineralisation, open questions remain. The processes in which phase transition occurs in aqueous solutions and their dynamics remain under-explored partly because traditional instruments/techniques do …

Bosonic Quantum Hall States from Rapidly Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates
Rotating Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) were explored as a platform for studying quantum Hall physics. This work relies on the equivalence between neutral particles under rotation and charged particles in a magnetic field to create rotational analogs of quantum Hall states of bosons. A novel …

Fundamentals of microlayer evaporation and its role on boiling heat transfer enhancement
<p>Boiling, a dynamic and multiscale process, is widely used in industrial applications as it can transfer a large amount of heat over a small surface area. It has been studied for over five decades; however, a comprehensive understanding of the process is still lacking. The bubble ebullition cycle …
