Our increasingly digital world requires the development of new electronic devices that process data faster, resist overheating, and are economical to manufacture. To that end, materials scientists must develop higher performance dielectric and ferroelectric materials, which serve as the backbone of data processing and memory storage components within electronic systems.

High-entropy materials have enabled access to a broader compositional selection space and improved functionalities for electroceramics.¹ “Entropy” refers to the number of configurations in which different chemical species may be arranged within a material’s structure.
