The discovery that the rotation of the orbital arrangement in manganites induces ferroelectricity exposes an intriguing phase transition that could serve as a blueprint for novel applications. The ...

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 ...

In this article, an overview of ferroelectricity and its current development in the realm of ferroelectric-based nanoelectronics is given. Opposite charges are attracted to one another and desire to ...

As electronic devices become progressively smaller, the technology that powers them needs to get smaller and thinner. One of the key challenges scientists face in developing this technology is finding ...

Researchers have discovered a new single-element ferroelectric material that alters the current understanding of conventional ferroelectric materials and has future applications in data storage ...

The boundary between electronics and biology is blurring with the first detection of ferroelectric properties in an amino acid called glycine. The boundary between electronics and biology is blurring ...

Certain two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals-bonded bilayers (e.g., WTe₂ and h-BN) exhibit “sliding ferroelectricity (SF),” where electric polarization arises from specific stacking configurations ...

Surprise: some of the team that made the unexpected discovery Ferroelectricity can exist in a sheet of material just a few nanometres thick. This new and unexpected discovery by researchers in the US ...
