Claim:
1. A nanoscale device, comprising: a nanoshell comprising a ferroelectric material, the nanoshell comprising: an inner nanoshell surface; and an outer nanoshell surface having a radius of curvature in the range of from 5 nm to 500 nm, and the thickness between said inner nanoshell surface and said outer nanoshell surface in the range of from greater than 1 nm to less than 100 nm; and wherein the ferroelectric nanoshell is characterized as being ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, or both; a first amount of conductive material that surmounts at least a portion of the outer nanoshell surface; and a second amount of conductive material that surmounts at least a portion of the inner nanoshell surface.
