🔬 **Breakthrough in Microelectronics:** Scientists from Berkeley discovered that ordinary titanium dioxide (TiO₂) becomes ferroelectric at a thickness of less than 3 nm. 📉 **Effect Intensifies:** The thinner the film (down to 1 nm), the stronger the effect. This contradicts classical physics. 💾 **Future of Memory:** The technology will allow the creation of ultra-compact non-volatile memory and energy-efficient processors. ⚠️ **Challenges:** The durability of the material and the number of rewrite cycles are currently unknown. Years of research remain before mass adoption.
