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 ...

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 ...

When a PhD student called Joseph Valasek discovered ferroelectricity exactly 100 years ago, few people realized the enormous impact it would have on science and technology. Amar S Bhalla and Avadh ...

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 ...

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 ...

The size restriction of conventional ferroelectric effects has been broken by recent research, which has confirmed through theoretical models and experimental data that solid-state ferroelectric ...

Ferroelectrics are special materials with polarized positive and negative charges—like a magnet has north and south ...

While some studies have supported the idea that the walls of the aorta are piezoelectric or ferroelectric, the most recent research finds no evidence of these properties. Researchers investigated by ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have discovered a novel form of ferroelectricity in a single-element bismuth monolayer that can produce regular and reversible dipole moments for ...
