Smart Device Materials

Material researchers have combined new materials with silicon chips in order to further the creation of next-generation smart devices. There is a considerable amount of research being conducted on composite materials in the nano-world, with nano-materials generating much innovation. Some materials being used in the development include multiferroic materials, with both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. The functional materials applied in this development could ultimately be used with sensors, non-volatile computer memory, and microelectromechanical systems.
