Most materials we use in everyday life expand slightly when heated and return to their original size when cooled. In addition ...

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 ...

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new neuromorphic hardware, systems that mirror the organization of neurons in the human brain. These systems could run ...

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, ...
