  • Antal Jákli, at Kent State University, and colleagues have made use of a property called flexoelectricity, where materials, such as LCs, convert mechanical energy into electrical energy when they are flexed.

    A new experiment proved the existence of a new effect in nanomaterials: flexo-electric effect. The material has built-in mechanical tension that changes shape when you apply electrical voltage, or that generates electricity if you change its shape and was theorized some decades ago. Now, SrTiO3 allowed to observe this new effect, being comparable with piezoelectric effect.

    Isn't muscle wire quite old technology though?
