Technology and the built world

Ferrari Testarossa

The Ferrari Testarossa, also known as Testa Rossa, is a twelve-cylinder Ferrari grand tourer produced from 1984 to 1996, one of the defining supercars of the 1980s.

Ferrari XX Programme

The Ferrari XX Programme is a non-competitive Ferrari program, started in 2006, in which invited clients drive track-only cars such as the FXX and 599XX at Ferrari events.

Ferrari–Canny metric

The Ferrari–Canny metric, also called the epsilon metric, is a robotic grasp quality measure introduced by Carlo Ferrari and John Canny at UC Berkeley in 1992.

Ferrero SpA

Ferrero SpA, part of the Ferrero Group, is the Italian holding company of the family-owned confectionery maker founded in Alba in 1946, known for Nutella and Kinder.

Ferret armoured car

The Ferret armored car, also known as the Daimler Ferret or Ferret scout car, is a British four-wheel-drive armored scout car built by Daimler, serving from 1952 until 1994.

Ferrier Oil and Gas Field

Ferrier is an oil and gas field in west-central Alberta, near Rocky Mountain House, producing from the Cardium Formation since oil was discovered there in 1954.

Ferrite bead

A ferrite bead, also known as a ferrite choke or block, is a passive component threaded onto a conductor that suppresses radio-frequency noise by converting it into heat.

Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia

The Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia (FCAB) is a Chilean freight railway and logistics company founded in London in 1888, moving mining cargo across a network of more than 700 kilometers.

Ferrocarril Transístmico

The Ferrocarril Transístmico, today the Tren Interoceánico, is a Mexican freight and passenger railway linking the Pacific port of Salina Cruz and the Gulf port of Coatzacoalcos.

Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México

Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México, or FNM, was Mexico's state railway company, created in 1908, nationalized outright in 1937, and privatized through concessions in the late 1990s.

Ferrocement is a thin-wall reinforced concrete in which cement mortar is reinforced with closely spaced layers of steel wire mesh, invented by Joseph-Louis Lambot in 1855 and used for boats, water tanks, and low-cost construction.

Ferroelectric field-effect transistor

A ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) is a field-effect transistor whose ferroelectric gate layer stores data as polarization direction, proposed in 1963 and pursued as non-volatile memory and neuromorphic hardware.

Ferroelectric material

A ferroelectric material holds a spontaneous electric polarization that an applied electric field can switch between stable states, below the Curie temperature, above which it becomes paraelectric.

Ferroelectric memristor

A ferroelectric memristor is a two-terminal electronic device whose resistance is set by the polarization of a ferroelectric layer, giving non-volatile, continuously tunable memory for artificial synapses and edge computing.

Ferroelectric polymer memory

Ferroelectric polymer memory is non-volatile data storage that holds each bit as the polarization direction of a polymer film such as PVDF, enabling low-temperature fabrication on flexible substrates.

Ferroelectric semiconductor

A ferroelectric semiconductor is a material combining switchable non-volatile electric polarization and semiconducting charge transport in one layer, best studied in the two-dimensional material α-In₂Se₃.

Ferroelectric tunnel junction

A ferroelectric tunnel junction is a two-terminal nanoelectronic device in which a nanometer-thick ferroelectric barrier switches between low- and high-resistance states, investigated for non-volatile memory and artificial synapses.

Ferroelectricity in hafnium oxide

Ferroelectricity in hafnium oxide is the switchable spontaneous polarization observed in thin HfO₂ films, arising from a metastable polar orthorhombic phase and first reported in silicon-doped films in 2011, enabling CMOS-compatible ferroelectric memories.
