An international team of researchers at University of Montpellier, University of Aveiro and University of Coimbra has demonstrated magnetoelectric coupling in a paramagnetic ferroelectric crystal. In their paper published ...
The logic and memory functions of future electronic devices could shrink dramatically - to one or two nanometers (billionths of a meter) instead of the many tens of nanometers that characterize today's most advanced elements ...
