Discovery of ferroelectricity in an elementary substance

Adding to the current library of 2D ferroelectric materials, physicists have discovered a new single-element material, known as 2D black phosphorus-like bismuth, that demonstrates ferroelectric properties. This new material changes the conventional understanding of ferroelectric materials, which are commonly made up of compounds with opposing charges to allow the formation of an electric field.
