Scientists report an innovative way to reduce coffee waste and help address another environmental problem.
Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century’s worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why.
Scientists have successfully paired ferroelectric and ferrimagnetic materials so that their alignment can be controlled with a small electric field at near room temperatures, an achievement that could open doors to ultralow-power microprocessors, storage devices, and next-generation electronics.
