In this episode Sunny gets deep into nanoscale ferroelectrics with Professor Beatriz Noheda, Director of the Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials Center (CogniGron). They discuss how this unusual interdisciplinary research center works, why nanoscale ferroelectrics may be useful in brain-like systems, and a little about how they are designed and fabricated. Discussion follows with Giulia and Ralph.
