Defect Annihilation (IMAGE) DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Caption Using the supercomputing resources at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, University of Chicago and Argonne researchers have found a way miniaturize microchip components using a technique producing zero defects. This advance will allow semiconductor manufacturers to meet miniaturization target dates to produce smaller components with added functionality for our favorite devices. Credit de Pablo et al.
