Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are true 3D fluids in which mechanical softness is combined with ferroelectric softness. Softness allows for the conversion of deformation into complex and specific electric signals, suitable for tactile sensors or energy harvesting devices.

An unexpected detail about a photovoltaic effect in a #ferroelectric material could have implications for #SolarEnergy conversion. Scientists found that thinning this #semiconductor reversed the direction of the current without changing polarization.
