Light makes special materials move at ultrafast speeds

Oct 26, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Ferroelectric materials are unusual because they have an electrically positive side and an electrically negative side, and these sides can be switched with an electric field. Relaxor ferroelectrics are special ferroelectric materials with greatly enhanced electrical and mechanical properties. These properties originate from the materials’...
