Materials scientists at Penn State University have improved the structure and chemistry of an energy-harvesting piezoelectric material made of potassium sodium niobate (KNN). (L-R) materials science ...

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 ...

Scientists in Thailand have assessed which technology between PV, wind, or piezoelectric energy is better for powering street lighting and have found solar is the winning tech, as it proved both ...

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 ...

This paper proposes a new research method in view of the rare research on the contact state of hybrid drive multi-degree-of-freedom motor. Firstly, the basic principle and structure of hybrid drive ...

MUNICH, Germany — IMEC has built the prototype of a piezo-based energy harvester which generates energy from mechanical vibrations. The research institute expects market introduction of such concepts ...

Energy harvesting from the human body (approximately 100 W of consumption at rest) in various forms appears to be a near-perfect power source fit for implanted medical devices, but practical issues ...

Harvesting energy sources such as heat, vibration, light, and electromagnetic waves from everyday environments such as industrial sites and automobiles and converting them into electrical energy is ...
