Ferroelectrics are a class of materials that exhibit so-called spontaneous electric polarization, which is the separation of electric charges that can be reversed when an external electric field is ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In their pursuit of device miniaturization, researchers are exploring the untapped potential of two-dimensional materials. These atomically thin crystals, with their unique ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or unevenly deformed. At very low temperatures, it can even become ferroelectric, ...

A new class of semiconductors that can store information in electric fields could enable computers that run on less power, sensors with quantum precision, and the conversion of signals between ...

Depth-resolved electron diffraction imaging (DREDI) uncovers 3D ferroelectric polarization structures in BiFeO3, enhancing ...
