Getting The Lead Out Of Piezoelectric Materials

March 15, 2022 | Leave a Comment

Technical University of Denmark researchers have found a new method to induce the piezoelectric effect in materials that are otherwise not piezoelectric. It can pave the way for new uses and more environmentally friendly materials. Piezoelectricity is used everywhere: Watches, cars, alarms, headphones, pickups for instruments, electric lighters and gas burners. One of the most […]

The View Of Piezoelectric Materials Is Getting An Update

December 14, 2021 | Leave a Comment

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 by Penn State researchers have raised questions about this standard rule. Piezoelectricity is a material property where a crystal generates electrical charge under an applied mechanical force. This capability enables […]

An Ocean Wave Generator That Works like Seaweed

November 30, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Researchers at Dalian Maritime University, Marine Engineering College reported they have developed flexible power generators that mimic the way seaweed sways to efficiently convert surface and underwater waves into electricity to power marine-based devices. Ocean waves can be powerful, containing enough energy to push around sand, pebbles and even boulders during storms. These waves, as […]
