A new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) for the new phase of the design of the accelerator was signed by Dr Michael Benedikt, the leader of the study, and Dr Fabio Miletto Granozio, SPIN director, as representative of CNR.

Ferroelectric hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) are attracting intense attention owing to their striking performance rivaling with that in perovskite oxides, ease of synthesis, low cost and environmental benignness. Despite the rapid discovery of many ferroelectric HOIPs, the intrinsic thermodynamic driving mechanisms of their ferroelectric transitions remain still not fully understood.
