Protons that are trapped in ferroelectric material are playing a big role in the next generation of neuromorphic microchips. ScitechDaily.com reports that KAUST's researchers used indium selenide for making a ferroelectric film and then put that film over an iridium layer. The report on that thing goes like this:
"A New Method for Ferroelectric Materials"
"The team’s novel approach hinges on the protonation of indium selenide to generate a multitude of ferroelectric phases. The researchers incorporated the ferroelectric material in a transistor consisting of a silicon-supported stacked heterostructure for evaluation".

"They layered an indium selenide film on the heterostructure. Which consisted of an aluminum oxide insulating sheet nestled between a platinum layer at the bottom and porous silica at the top. The platinum layer functioned as electrodes for the applied voltage, while the porous silica served as an electrolyte, supplying protons to the ferroelectric film".

The image shows the way that the protons are trapped in the ferroelectric structure. Those protons can act as antennas that can transmit and receive oscillations that come from other protons. The idea is that above this ferroelectric structure would be the nanostructure where certain atoms or ions are trapped. If some in some part of the graphene structure is hydrogen and some in some other segment is oxygen. That system can be used to search for hydrogen and oxygen. The thing is that if that system looks at some object with similar atoms as it has, those atoms or ions cause oscillation in those atoms or ions trapped in that system.
Protons are hydrogen ions. They can act as oscillators in new types of radio systems. And theoretically, it is possible to create graphene or some other type of 3D structure with trapped oxygen ions, or atoms, and hydrogen ions (protons), or hydrogen atoms. That kind of system can be used to search for water in the universe. If radiowaves that are coming from distant stars cause resonance in both oxygen and hydrogen ions or atoms, that means that there could be water around that star.
The thing is that protons can be used for data storage. And if protons are trapped in graphene structures that hover in carbon baskets, the information can be stored in them. Then That system can send radio or laser rays through that structure. And transmit the oscillation of those protons to receivers that have similar structures. The EM radiation transfers the oscillation of the protons to the receiving protons. And that system can be used to create new types of radio crystals.
