Chemists establish fundamentals of ferroelectric materials

Ferromagnetic materials, like compass needles, are useful because their magnetic polarization makes them rotate to align with magnetic fields. Ferroelectric materials behave in a similar way but with electric, rather than ...

A material with promising properties

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a method for synthesising Europium (II) oxide nanoparticles, a ferromagnetic semiconductor that is relevant for data storage and data transport

Cone or flask? The shape that detects confinement

In physics, confinement of particles is such an important phenomenon that the Clay Mathematics Institute has even pledged an award of a million dollars to anyone who can give a convincing and exhaustive scientific explanation ...
