An international team of researchers has found a way to improve electrostriction in an oxide material by atomically engineering the interfaces of the layers of which it is made. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group shows that electrostriction in oxides can be enhanced through the use of artificial interfaces. David Egger with the Technical University of Munich, has published a News & Views piece in the same journal issue outlining the work done by the group on this new effort.
