Ferroelectric

Ohio State researchers have shown how a common ceramic material can change its thermal conductivity in response to an electrical field, opening the door to solid-state heat switches that could make thermoelectric generators much more efficient.

​Back in December, researchers from Michigan State University (MSU) demonstrated their ferroelectret nanogenerator (FENG), a paper-thin device that can generate energy from motion. Now, they’ve added a new trick to FENG’s repertoire, turning it into a thin, flexible microphone and loudspeaker.

Researchers report achieveing a data density of 4 trillion bits per square inch, a world record for experimental ferroelectric data storage

Waiting for your computer to boot up could soon be a thing of the past thanks to a materials science technique that may allow a new class of electronic devices that remember their last state, even after power is turned off.

A breakthrough invention and patent in nanotechnology will keep data storage technology in touch with its ever-increasing requirements of mass data storage well
