A nanotechnology lab used industrial computed tomography and computational fluid dynamics to investigate a carbon vapor explosion in a graphene CVD reactor. By reconstructing fragment trajectories and gas flow, the team identified a defective weld in the chamber seal as the root cause of the failure. This case highlights the importance of digital twins and high-resolution simulation in semiconductor and carbon material fabrication. Using these tools helps prevent catastrophic structural failures and improves safety protocols in cleanroom environments.
