Over the last 30 years, the study of ferroelectric oxides has been revolutionized by the
implementation of epitaxial‐thin‐film‐based studies, which have driven many advances in …

In this review paper, recent progress in the fabrication, transfer, and fundamental physical
properties of freestanding oxide perovskite thin films is discussed. First, the main strategies …

The integration of dissimilar materials in heterostructures has long been a cornerstone of
modern materials science—seminal examples are 2D materials and van der Waals …

Strain engineering in perovskite oxides provides for dramatic control over material structure,
phase, and properties, but is restricted by the discrete strain states produced by available …

Bioelectricity provides electrostimulation to regulate cell/tissue behaviors and functions. In
the human body, bioelectricity can be generated in electromechanically responsive tissues …

Since facile routes to fabricate freestanding oxide membranes were previously established,
tremendous efforts have been made to further improve their crystallinity, and fascinating …

Transition metal perovskite oxide membranes and their unique properties have attracted
