Such a structure, consisting essentially of apatite crystals embedded in an organic matrix, might be expected to exhibit piezoelectric properties, as in the case of many other multicrystalline ...

The working principle of piezoelectric nanogenerators involves the coupling of piezoelectric and semiconducting properties in nanostructured materials. When these materials are subjected to mechanical ...

Advances in materials science stemming from research in South Korea are leading to higher-performance piezoelectric and ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as ...

Our approach relies on the insight that motion of the actuators causes varying strains on the surface on the piezoelectric material, which via the direct piezoelectric effect, results in a current ...
