Breakthrough Experiments Validate High-Pressure Properties of Key Tech Materials
UIC scientists are conducting new experiments that could enhance technologies using ferroelectric materials, which can spontaneously polarize and generate electricity under stress. These materials, crucial in medical imaging, sonar, and computer memory, change shape in electric fields. UIC researchers, led by #UICLAS Professor Russell Hemley, have studied lead titanate, a key ferroelectric material, and its potential to inspire a new class of advanced materials with superior properties.
