The piezoelectric effect arises from the asymmetric arrangement of atoms in certain crystalline materials. When a piezoelectric crystal is subjected to mechanical stress, the deformation of the ...

Scientists discover that self-assembling vitamin crystals convert physical force into electricity, creating safe, ...

The second key advantage of this new composite biomaterial is its piezoelectric properties. “Piezoelectricity is the ability of materials to generate electric charges under mechanical stress or deform ...
