Abstract: To achieve high single-step efficiency (SSE), a novel bionic stick-slip piezoelectric actuator inspired by kangaroo’s leg mechanics is proposed in this article. The bionic design ...

We transformed hen egg white lysozyme, a cheap and widely available protein, into amyloid fibrils and drop-cast them to form films. The d 33 piezoelectric coefficient of these films was then ...
