Great find. The article linked to this article which goes into a bit more detail. http://sciencenordic.com/historic-discovery-huge-electric-field-occurs-spontaneously-laughing-gas
After the phenomena of superconductivity was first discovered at very low temperatures people began searching for higher temperature superconductors, so I wonder if the phenomena of spontelectrics can occur at higher temperatures too.
