We've got a special treat for you this time - a researcher that is a specialist in nanotechnologies and studies a fascinating group of materials called perovskites, focusing on the piezo- and pyroelectric ones. It was a real pleasure to talk to Dr. Emmanuel Defay (LIST) and discover this world which was completely unknown to us.
