Over the past two decades, spintronics has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in nanoelectronics, seeking to exploit the intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of electrons to carry and ...

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 ...

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

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite being just 30 nm thick including top and bottom electrodes—making it ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In their pursuit of device miniaturization, researchers are exploring the untapped potential of two-dimensional materials. These atomically thin crystals, with their unique ...
