American Piezoelectric Society

The American Piezoelectric Society (API) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and application of piezoelectricity— the phenomenon where certain materials generate electric charge when mechanically pressed, and conversely, change shape when subjected to electric fields. API brings together scientists, engineers, and industry experts to share research, develop new technologies, and promote advancements in fields like sensors, medical devices, and acoustics, all based on piezoelectric principles. Its goal is to foster collaboration, innovation, and education in this specialized area of materials science and engineering.
