Piezoelectric ceramics

Piezoelectric ceramics are special materials that generate an electric voltage when they are mechanically deformed or pressed. Conversely, when an electric voltage is applied, they change shape slightly. This unique property makes them useful in various applications like sensors, ultrasound devices, and actuators. These ceramics are engineered from crystalline structures that lack a center of symmetry, enabling their ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. Their durability, precision, and ability to operate at high frequencies make them vital components in modern electronic and medical equipment.
