Using ferroelectricity instead of magnetism in computer memory saves energy

Nanosized ferroelectrics become a reality If ferroelectric bits were nanosized, this would also save space. But conventional wisdom dictates that ferroelectric properties disappear when the bits are made smaller. Reports that hafnium oxide can be used to make a nanoscale ferroelectric have not yet convinced the field. University of Groningen (UG) physicists have now gathered Read more about Using ferroelectricity instead of magnetism in computer memory saves energy[…]
