A research team has developed a highly efficient wearable energy harvester that can power electronic devices using only body movements. DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) announced that a team led by Prof.

A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over ...

Drums! You hit them, and they vibrate. It’s kind of fun. Piezoelectric elements can create electric current when they vibrate. [Will Dana] put two and two together to try and charge his phone on his ...

While we've been hearing a lot about wearable piezoelectric devices that produce electricity from people's movements, such gadgets don't work well under certain conditions. A new bioelectric wearable, ...

There are untold energy sources all around us, if we can just figure out how to tap into them. Swiss researchers have now demonstrated an environmentally friendly way to make spongy wood flooring that ...

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 ...

Piezoelectric crystals are a class of materials that exhibit a unique property called piezoelectricity. These crystals generate an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical stress or strain, and ...
