Scientists at the Oak Ridge NL Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, one of five interrelated DOE nanoscience centers, used an instrumented developed at ORNL to discovery a new approach to using ferroelectric nanomaterials to switch, read, write and otherwise manipulate data, using much lower power than current technology. One scientist said, "Harnessing this functionality will ultimately enable smart and ultra-dense memory technology" and open a new era in electronics. The ORNL release is here. KNS Science Writer Frank Munger's take on it is here.
