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

Fish scales extracted from food waste have been used to build tiny generators that can convert mechanical energy, such as a touch or sound vibrations, to electrical energy. The work was done by ...

According to MarketsandMarkets, "Piezoelectric Polymers Market by Polymer Type (PVDF, PVDF-TrFE), Material Form (Films & Sheets, Molded Components), Application (Sensors, Transducers), End-use ...

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 ...

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 ...

The piezoelectric effect refers to the negative and positive charges that appear on the surface of specific crystals when pressure is applied. This phenomenon was discovered by Pierre and Jacques ...

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 ...

Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space ...
