Liu , meanwhile , speculates that ferroelectricity switching might alter the way cholesterol , sugars or fats stick to and harden blood vessels .
刘同时推测说铁电转换也许会改变胆固醇、糖还有油脂粘附并硬化血管的途径。
Or perhaps the property could sense blood temperature ( because ferroelectricity is temperature-sensitive ) , or , as in seashells , disperse mechanical energy and prevent damage .
或者也许用来检测血液温度（因为铁电性是热敏的），或者，就像海贝一样，用来化解机械能量而避免伤害的。
The tip detected the tell-tale signal associated with ferroelectricity , and what is more , they found that they could switch this polarization with an electric field .
这个针头用于探测和铁电性应有关的指示信号，他们还发现通过电场可以改变其极性。
If liu is right to suspect that ferroelectricity can influence the way blood vessels take up fats , sugars or lipids , then switching it with an applied electric field might help to combat cardiovascular conditions that result from build-up , such as thrombosis and atherosclerosis .
But it is possible that ferroelectricity could be just a side-effect of some other adaptive function of the tissue a result of the way the molecules just happen to be arranged , which , if it does not interfere with other functions , will go unnoticed by evolution .
