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

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 ...

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 ...
