Researchers have conceived a new class of liquid relaxor ferroelectrics by strategically introducing polarity heterogeneity. The breakthrough enables enhanced dielectric responses previously unattainable in liquid matter systems.
Scientists have reportedly designed the first liquid-matter relaxor ferroelectrics (nRFE) through direct molecular engineering, according to research published in Nature Communications. Unlike conventional solid-state relaxor ferroelectrics that rely on chemical doping in crystalline lattices, this novel approach introduces polarity heterogeneity by dispersing polar nanoregions (nPNRs) within apolar nematic liquid crystal backgrounds. Sources indicate this represents a paradigm shift in ferroelectric material design, enabling unprecedented dielectric properties in fluid systems.

Scientists have overcome a major limitation in cryo-electron microscopy by developing a novel fusion strategy that enables high-resolution structural determination of small proteins. The breakthrough method successfully resolved the structure of cancer-related kRasG12C at 3.7 Å resolution, clearly showing how inhibitor drug MRTX849 interacts with its target.
Structural biologists have reportedly developed an innovative approach that extends the capabilities of cryo-electron microscopy to small protein targets previously considered too challenging for high-resolution analysis, according to recent research published in Scientific Reports. The new method addresses what sources indicate has been a fundamental limitation in the field—the difficulty of imaging proteins smaller than 50 kilodaltons (kDa) using single-particle cryo-EM techniques.
