Piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical stress into electricity and vice versa, are essential components in sensors ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have produced ultrathin bismuth ferrite (BiFeO₃) films that deliver a fourfold increase in piezoelectric response while operating below the 30-nanometer ...

Engineered multilayer bismuth ferrite films achieve piezoelectric performance four times higher than conventional forms at ...

A pair of chemists at Michigan State University has observed the piezoelectric effect in liquids for the first time. In their paper published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, Md. Iqbal ...

A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over ...

A 3D-printed piezoelectric metamaterial uses topology-driven charge transport to locate underwater sound sources from a single compact transducer, replacing bulky hydrophone arrays.

Isreali engineers are about to begin testing a 100 metre stretch of roadway embedded with a network of Piezo Electric Generators (IPEG™). The piezoelectric effect converts mechanical strain into ...

A research team led by Professor Jyh-Ming Wu of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan has recently developed two composite piezoelectric ...

Piezoelectricity is a property of certain materials to become electrically polarized under strain and stress. This phenomenon has been studied extensively since it was first discovered in the mid-18 ...

In a study conducted at the University of Connecticut, a team led by Asst. Prof. Thanh Nguyen and postdoctoral fellow Yang Liu explored the use of a "tissue scaffold" made out of nanofibers of a ...
