For the first time, scientists have reported evidence of the piezoelectric effect in liquids. The effect has been known for 143 years and in this time has been observed only in solids. The new finding ...

Direct evidence of the piezoelectric effect of lysozyme in monoclinic and tetragonal aggregate films of lysozyme has now been captured by researchers. The sufficiently high piezoelectric coefficient ...

Download this article in PDF format. Jacques and Pierre Curie, French physics, discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880. When some solid material is mechanically compressed or stressed, the ...

Piezoelectric effect is when certain solid material is compressed under mechanical stress, and it develops a voltage potential by accumulating electrical charges. French physicists Jacques and Pierre ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...

Here’s some advice from an oscilloscope expert: Don’t hit your oscilloscope while making measurements (and preferably not ever). It seems like this should go without saying, right? But in late March, ...
