Now a team of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and
the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory may
understand why. The results are published in the June 6 edition of the
journal Nature Materials.

Smart cards, buzzers inside watches and even ultrasound machines all
take advantage of ferroelectrics, a family of materials that can
retain information, as well as transform...
