A new review reveals how collagen's intrinsic piezoelectricity could power self-driven tissue regeneration and biosensing ...

Piezoelectricity is used everywhere: Watches, cars, alarms, headphones, pickups for instruments, electric lighters and gas burners. One of the most common examples is probably the quartz watch, where ...

A door has been opened to low-power off/on switches in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectronic devices, as well as ultrasensitive bio-sensors, with the first observation of ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and at the University of Magdeburg in Germany have developed a novel type of nanomechanical resonator that combines two important features: ...

You may not realize it, but chances are you've already interacted with piezoelectricity countless times in your life. Anytime you've made use of wireless earbuds or printed something with an inkjet ...

For years, researchers believed that the smaller the domain size in a ferroelectric crystal, the greater the piezoelectric properties of the material. However, recent findings have raised questions ...
