Next-generation technologies, such as leading-edge memory storage solutions and brain-inspired neuromorphic computing systems, could touch nearly every aspect of our lives—from the gadgets we use daily to the solutions for major global challenges. These advances rely on specialized materials, including ferroelectrics—materials with switchable electric properties that enhance performance and energy efficiency.

A research team led by scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a novel technique for creating precise atomic arrangements in ferroelectrics, establishing a robust framework for advancing powerful new technologies. The paper is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
