Thus, piezoelectricity may be a universal property of living tissue, and may play a significant part in several physiological phenomena ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications now shows that the piezoelectricity in ferroelectric Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 thin films can be dynamically changed by electric field cycling.

Piezoelectricity, which translates from Greek to mean pressing electricity, usually found in ceramics or polymers, is also present in human biomolecules. The research team from the Actuate Lab in ...

In a significant perspective article published in Engineering, researchers present an innovative concept: the in situ conversion of universal hydraulic energy to electricity to address common ...

Piezoelectricity—a crystal can generate a tiny electric charge when its atomic structure is squeezed strong enough—occurs in many minerals but is particularly strong in quartz. What if this ...
