A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Penn State University is exploring novel materials that have potential to make microelectronics more energy efficient. Their recent work published in Science explores recently discovered wurtzite ferroelectrics, which are mainly composed of materials that are already incorporated in semiconductor technology for integrated circuits. These materials allow for the integration of new power-efficient devices for applications such as non-volatile memory, electro-optics, and energy harvesting.
