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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Flexoelectricity is a phenomenon in which a strain gradient in a material induces an electric polarization. It is a coupling between a mechanical strain gradient and an electric polarization in ...

In a study published in Nano Letters, researchers demonstrated that light can change the electric polarization within the domains of a relaxor material in just trillionths of a second. Depiction of ...

Reliably measuring the polarization state of light is crucial for various technological applications, ranging from optical communication to biomedical imaging. Yet conventional polarimeters are made ...
