Could walking or running generate enough energy to power your cell phone or GPS device? Dr. Ville Kaajakari has developed an innovative piezoelectric generator prototype small enough to be embedded in ...

Fish scales extracted from food waste have been used to build tiny generators that can convert mechanical energy, such as a touch or sound vibrations, to electrical energy. The work was done by ...

Well, it's not the kind of generator you can rent, but it is made to convert mechanical energy into electric energy, but on a very small scale. Sep 9, 2016 Fish scales extracted from food waste have ...

Researchers from Columbia University and the Georgia Institute of Technology are laying claim to having observed piezoelectricity in an atomically thin material for the first time. The effect was ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a harmless, genetically-modified virus that's piezoelectric -- in other words, it generates electricity when ...

Piezoelectric phenomena have been widely observed in natural materials like bones 1,2, collagen 3,4, viruses 5,6 and a variety of protein-based materials 7. Although significant progress has been made ...
