Information about the 19th International Symposium on Integrated Ferroelectrics (ISIF 2007), held in Bordeaux, France on May 8-12, 2007 is presented. It mentions that the key theme of the event was the processing, integration, characterization and modelling of dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and multiferroic materials and devices, including nanoscale ferroelectric materials. The presentations during the three day-events include 3 plenary and 40 invited talks.

Researchers from France harvest energy from stray magnetic fields using only a commercial piezoelectric diaphragm, with no expensive magnetostrictive materials involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
