Ferroelectric Material Innovation to Advance the Electronics Industry For a long time, ferroelectric materials have been touted as one of the most promising classes of materials to be used for next-generation electronic devices that would be smaller, faster, more powerful and consume less energy than existing ones. However, making them a feasible option is not easy, because of the tech... 18 June 2009 18:01 GMT Why Use Electronic Signals, When There is Light? The "NewTon" project represents a research activity in the domain of photonic crystals which will have as a result the production of the first functional all-optical components by the end of the next year. Photonic crystals will be produced to create new components that will replace those using electricity to transmi... 21 November 2007 06:08 GMT New Electric Properties of Nanostructures The purpose of such a research was that of examining the dielectric susceptibilities of nanostructures. The dielectric susceptibility represents a response to the polarization of a given material, when an electric field is applied. Nanostructures seem to possess properties that are contradictory to those of normal ma... 14 November 2007 07:21 GMT
