piezoelectric materials

Piezoelectric materials are special substances that generate an electrical charge when mechanically stressed, such as when squeezed or bent. This property is due to their molecular structure, which allows for a shift in electrical charge when pressure is applied. Commonly used in devices like microphones, speakers, and sensors, piezoelectric materials convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. They play a crucial role in various technologies, enabling precise control and measurement in applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery. Their unique ability to harness energy from motion makes them valuable in many fields of engineering and physics.
