Material's 'incipient' property could jumpstart fast, low-power electronics

Material's 'incipient' property could jumpstart fast, low-power electronics.

These devices function to the nervous system, creating a nervous system and creating a low-cost, efficient computing system that uses a lot of energy.

Device could eventually be used for artificial intelligence, reducing energy costs.

Strontium titanate is typically non-ferroelectric, meaning it does not have a permeant electric field.

However, freestanding nanomembranes of the material exhibit polar order, which can enable the material to exhibit ferroelectric-like behavior, especially at very low temperatures.
