Isreali engineers are about to begin testing a 100 metre stretch of roadway embedded with a network of Piezo Electric Generators (IPEG™). The piezoelectric effect converts mechanical strain into ...

Piezoelectricity is a property of certain materials to become electrically polarized under strain and stress. This phenomenon has been studied extensively since it was first discovered in the mid-18 ...

Fish scales extracted from food waste have been used to build tiny generators that can convert mechanical energy, such as a touch or sound vibrations, to electrical energy. The work was done by ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a harmless, genetically-modified virus that's piezoelectric -- in other words, it generates electricity when ...

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have created a new piezoelectric nanogenerator that promises to overcome the restrictions found in previous attempts to ...

According to MarketsandMarkets, "Piezoelectric Polymers Market by Polymer Type (PVDF, PVDF-TrFE), Material Form (Films & Sheets, Molded Components), Application (Sensors, Transducers), End-use ...

(Nanowerk News) PI’s line of lens positioners, designed to scan and position objectives with sub-nm resolution at high bandwidth, is expanding with a new generation of piezo Z-focus stages – the P-725 ...
