A collaborative European research team led by physicists from Slovak Academy of Sciences has theorized a new approach to ...

Using chemical processes, scientists have manipulated the phase boundaries of lead-based ferroelectric materials to create higher performance and smaller devices.

Ferroelectric crystals are a special class of materials that exhibit spontaneous electric polarization, which can be reversed by applying an external electric field. These crystals have a ...

Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons—tiny waves ...

Multiferroics are materials that exhibit more than one ferroic property, typically ferroelectricity (i.e., a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by electric fields) and ...

Researchers from the Institute of Materials Structure Science at KEK and RIKEN discovered a new phenomenon, “electronic ferroelectricity,” through electric polarization measurements and synchrotron ...

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, ...

(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 ...
