Can ice generate electricity? It’s not as far-fetched as you may think. Learn about the new research that “brings the vision ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or ...

Ice can generate electricity when bent, a process called flexoelectricity. The discovery connects to lightning formation and ...

The experiments demonstrate that ice exhibits two distinct types of electrical behavior: flexoelectricity at higher ...

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 ...

That means they could hold a stable electric polarization that flips when an external electric field is applied, much like ...

That is, it responds like magnetic iron to a reversing electric field by developing natural electrical polarization, like flipping the poles on a magnet. According to the team, this phenomenon is more ...

(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 ...

A new class of semiconductors that can store information in electric fields could enable computers that run on less power, sensors with quantum precision, and the conversion of signals between ...
