When these materials are subjected to mechanical strain, the piezoelectric effect generates electrical charges, which can be collected and stored for powering small electronic devices or sensors.

Advances in materials science stemming from research in South Korea are leading to higher-performance piezoelectric and triboelectric, and self-powering, sensors. How researchers are modifying ...

Prof. Ryu explains, "Our study explains the materials and device fabrication strategies for tactile sensors using piezoelectric and triboelectric effects, as well as the types of sensory recognition." ...

The output of this sensor controls the voltage on the piezo stack removing the hysteresis, non-linearity and creep. Each DPT is supplied with a calibration curve which can serve as a basis to correct ...
