A novel type of three-dimensional (3D) polar topological structure, termed the "polar chiral bobber," has been discovered in ...

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 ...

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is an effective method for examining ferroelectric materials due to its nanometer-level resolution and high sensitivity, inherited from atomic force microscopy ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images of columns of aluminium, boron and nitrogen atoms as they move in response to an electric field. Left: In-situ experimental STEM images. Right: ...

Emerging opportunities include the demand for ultra-low power electronics, IoT integration, and smart city tech. Innovations in thin-film materials and memory-display systems highlight potential.

A research team led by Professor Youngwook Kim from the Department of Physics and Chemistry, DGIST, in collaboration with the research team of Professor Gil Young Cho at KAIST, have discovered a new ...

Ferroelectrics are getting a serious re-examination, as chipmakers look for new options to maintain drive current. Ferroelectric materials can provide non-volatile memory, serving an important ...

Three years ago, researchers from institutions in the US and Israel discovered a new type of ferroelectricity in a material called boron nitride (BN). The team called this new mechanism “slidetronics” ...
