A joint research team has successfully induced polarization and polarity in metallic substances. In the realm of material science, the phenomena of polarization and polarity have conventionally been ...
Adding zinc ions to lithium niobate crystals cuts the energy needed for polarization switching by 69%, enabling visible-light programming of memristors for brain-inspired computing.
Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.
