A research team, led by Professor Junhee Lee from the Graduate School of Semiconductor Materials and Devices Engineering at UNIST, has demonstrated through quantum mechanical calculations that charged ...

When we communicate with others over wireless networks, information is sent to data centers where it is collected, stored, processed, and distributed. As computational energy usage continues to grow, ...

A new family of materials that could result in improved digital information storage and uses less energy may be possible thanks to a team of Penn State researchers who demonstrated ferroelectricity in ...

Inorganic ferroelectrics have promised to change the face of semiconductor electronics for almost a century, but high processing costs have so far limited development. Now, researchers at Southeast ...

Ferroelectric materials do something unique under an applied electric field: They exhibit spontaneous polarization, meaning positive and negative charges quickly separate within the crystal. That ...

Using ferroelectricity instead of magnetism in computer memory saves energy. If ferroelectric bits were nanosized, this would also save space. But conventional wisdom dictates that ferroelectric ...

New organic ferroelectric materials that operate at room temperature made their debut at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Philadelphia last week. Scientists have in the past ...

A team of researchers is exploring novel materials that have potential to make microelectronics more energy efficient. Their recent work explores recently discovered wurtzite ferroelectrics, which are ...
