An understanding of the water dynamics on the edges of one and two-dimensional structures is scarce. Still, such interactions can be sufficient to perturb local electric environments, therefore offering an opportunity to harness the effect of the local dipole moment of water. Combining experiments on nanoribbon field effect transistors and molecular dynamic simulations, we elucidate a collective behaviour of water within clusters adsorbed on graphene edges. We show that these nanoribbons exhibit significant and persistent remanent fields which can be employed in ferroelectric heterostructures and neuromorphic circuits.
