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

To observe pyroelectricity, we can heat a crystal uniformly and observe the change in polarization. Piezoelectricity is found in useful applications such as the production and detection of sound, ...

The first two chapters introduce dielectrics and microscopic materials properties, while the following chapter discusses pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity. The larger part of the text is devoted to ...

This discovery has enormous potential for technological applications. "As the piezoelectricity in these materials can be dynamically changed and even nullified while the polarization remains ...

Piezoelectricity, which translates from ... silicon molds into disks or any custom shape required depending on the application—for example, a medical device element versus a phone microphone ...

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 ...
