Researchers have developed a technique for growing piezoelectric biomolecular crystals that could eliminate the use of toxic ...

Piezoelectricity, which translates from Greek to mean pressing electricity, usually found in ceramics or polymers, is also present in human biomolecules. The research team from the Actuate Lab in ...

Thus, piezoelectricity may be a universal property of living tissue, and may play a significant part in several physiological phenomena ...

In a significant perspective article published in Engineering, researchers present an innovative concept: the in situ conversion of universal hydraulic energy to electricity to address common ...

A group of researchers believe shoes that generate electricity as you walk are just the tip of the iceberg for an exciting ...

Piezoelectricity—a crystal can generate a tiny electric charge when its atomic structure is squeezed strong enough—occurs in many minerals but is particularly strong in quartz. What if this ...
