Ferroelectrics could pave way for ultra-low power computing |
September 13, 2011
Engineers have shown that it is possible to reduce the minimum voltage necessary to store charge in a capacitor, an achievement that could reduce the power draw and heat generation of today's electronics. They used ferroelectric materials to amplify the charge accumulated at the capacitor for a given voltage, a phenomenon called negative capacitance.
