Big ideas start small. Big explorers start young. 🌍🔬

In May, pupils in Ireland became #NanoExplorers, discovering the nanoscale through Atomic Force Microscopy. With back-to-school season here, we can’t wait to welcome even more young explorers! #STEM #ScienceEducation

🗞️ Breaking research alert!
Congrats to Dr. Waseem @WaseemAhmadWa1 for leading a groundbreaking study on ferroelectricity in hafnia films — now in Advanced Materials!
We show that atmosphere & humidity alone can flip hafnia between FE & non-FE states.
