KAIST Reveals How Ferroelectric Memory Stores Data at Nanoscale
2+ hour, 47+ min ago (517+ words) < The research team. From left: Dr. Batzorig Buyantogtokh, Professor Seungbum Hong, and Ph.D. candidate Sheung Hun Kim (KAIST). > The research team focused on ferroelectrics. Ferroelectric materials can retain their electrical polarization after an applied voltage is removed. Reversing this orientation allows the material to store information as 0s and 1s. The electrical state in which positive and negative charges inside…...
