Atom Defects (IMAGE) DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Caption Argonne researchers are the first to capture the formation of nanomaterial defects in near-real time. Their work will help other researchers model the behavior of materials, a step that is key to engineering stronger, more reliable materials.
