As reported in a recent paper published in Nature Physics, a team, composed of researchers from the Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS-THALES, CNR SPIN, the University Federico II of Naples and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, has discovered a new type of 2D-electron gas, at the interface between two compounds of the perovskite oxide family, that is both ferroelectric and magnetic while being an excellent electrical conductor.

As described in a paper just published in NPJ Flexible Electronics, a journal of the Nature group, an innovative fully flexible proton detector, operating at low-voltage (V = −1 V), has been developed within the FIRE project funded by INFN within the activities of the V National Scientific Group.
