Such a structure, consisting essentially of apatite crystals embedded in an organic matrix, might be expected to exhibit piezoelectric properties, as in the case of many other multicrystalline ...

Korean researchers have developed a groundbreaking energy harvesting device that converts body movements into electricity.

This interconversion between mechanical and electrical energy makes piezoelectric crystals highly useful for various sensing and actuation applications. The piezoelectric effect arises from the ...

A research team at DGIST has developed a wearable device that harvests electrical energy using only body movements. This ...

The piezoelectric effect is simple in its rules: Apply mechanical stress to a material and you generate an electric charge. The inverse is also true: Apply a voltage to a material, and it changes ...

SEVERAL groups have shown 1–4 that electromechanical effects in mineralized tissues are the consequences of a classical piezoelectric phenomenon, when both direct and converse effects are present.

The piezoelectric effect occurs when certain materials, lacking structural symmetry, produce electric charges under mechanical stress. As the material is compressed or stretched, positive and negative ...

Piezoelectric and triboelectric tactile sensors are designed to convert mechanical stimuli into electrical signals, making ...

The research team developed a new environmentally friendly material which taps into the power of the piezoelectric effect. This phenomenon causes materials to generate electricity when subjected ...

Chung-Ang University researchers develop self-powered piezoelectric and triboelectric tactile sensors leveraging 3D printing.

Making Electronic Devices Flexible With smartphones, we have become used to carrying electronics with us all the time. This is, however, still done with a bulky block of metal and plastic, which, if ...
