Submerged system uses the vibration of “piezoelectric” materials to generate power and send and receive data. To investigate the vastly unexplored oceans covering most our planet, researcher... Read more
The piezoelectric materials that inhabit everything from our cell phones to musical greeting cards may be getting an upgrade thanks to work discussed in the journal Nature Materials released... Read more
A 10-fold increase in the ability to harvest mechanical and thermal energy over standard piezoelectric composites may be possible using a piezoelectric ceramic foam supported by a flexible p... Read more
Called a Strawscraper, this tower is covered in piezoelectric fronds that rustle in the wind, generating power for people inside. It’s just a concept, for now, but a pretty interesting one,... Read more
