Synopsis: Domenii: Energy: Energy generale: Electricity: Piezoelectricity:

When the piezoelectric material flexes due to contraction and relaxation of the organ to which it is affixed,

The implant chip is powered by piezoelectricity which is caused electricity by pressure. In a piezoelectric material pressure compresses its molecular structure much like a child jumping on a bed compresses the mattress.

When the pressure abates the piezoelectric material's molecular structure like the mattress springs back into shape.

Every time a piezoelectric structure is compressed and decompressed a small electrical charge is created. Researchers created pressure by aiming ultrasound waves at a tiny piece of piezoelectric material mounted on the device."

"The implant is like an electrical spring that compresses and decompresses a million times a second providing electrical charge to the chip"says Marcus Weber who worked on the team with fellow graduate students Jayant Charthad and Ting Chia Chang.

The piezoelectric effect is the power delivery mechanism. In the future the team plans to extend the capabilities of the implant chip to perform medical tasks such as running sensors

but current design is the first to include piezoelectric materials. These materials turn mechanical pressure into electric signals,

and integrated the piezoelectric materials. The use of piezoelectric materials allowed them to simultaneously measure the flexing and the rotation of the beam,

which in turn allowed them to replicate the fly hearing. Hall credits the pioneering work of Ronald Miles at Binghamton University and Ronald Hoy at Cornell University,

The effect is known as piezoelectricity. Scientists had predicted it was theoretically possible in materials of only a few atomic thicknesses

These noteworthy results were achieved by the non-destructive stress-relaxation ability of the unique electrodes as well as the good piezoelectricity of the device components.

"Working with researchers from the National Physical Laboratory and Cambridge-based dielectric antenna company Antenova Ltd, the Cambridge team used thin films of piezoelectric materials, a type of insulator

Piezoelectric materials can be made in thin film forms using materials such as lithium niobate, gallium nitride and gallium arsenide.

including ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity, superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. In the past couple of years, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have been processed solution into thin films

and the Georgia Institute of technology report today that they have made the first experimental observation of piezoelectricity

and the piezotronic effect in an atomically thin material molybdenum disulfide (Mos2) resulting in a unique electric generator

The piezoelectric effect in this material had previously been predicted theoretically. Piezoelectricity is a well-known effect in which stretching or compressing a material causes it to generate an electrical voltage (or the reverse in

which an applied voltage causes it to expand or contract). But for materials of only a few atomic thicknesses no experimental observation of piezoelectricity has been made until now.

The observation reported today provides a new property for two-dimensional materials such as molybdenum disulfide opening the potential for new types of mechanically controlled electronic devices.

Proof of the piezoelectric effect and piezotronic effect adds new functionalities to these two-dimensional materials says Zhong Lin Wang Regents'Professor in Georgia Tech's School of Materials science and engineering and a co-leader of the research.

and demonstrating the piezoelectric effect in it adds a new facet to the material. Hone and his research group demonstrated in 2008 that graphene a 2d form of carbon is the strongest material.

He and postdoctoral fellow Wenzhuo Wu are also developing piezotronic devices which use piezoelectric charges to control the flow of current through the material

but Zhong Lin Wang notes so an even number of layers cancels out the piezoelectric effect.

The presence of piezotronic effect in odd layer Mos2 was observed also for the first time. What's really interesting is we've now found that a material like Mos2 which is not piezoelectric in bulk form can become piezoelectric

and give zero net piezoelectric effect. This adds another member to the family of piezoelectric materials for functional devices says Wenzhuo Wu.

In fact Mos2 is just one of a group of 2d semiconducting materials known as transition metal dichalcogenides all of

whose piezoelectric materials remain unexplored. Importantly as has been shown by Hone and his colleagues 2d materials can be stretched much farther than conventional materials particularly traditional ceramic piezoelectrics

which are quite brittle. The research could open the door to development of new applications for the material and its unique properties.

This study also reveals the piezotronic effect in two-dimensional materials for the first time which greatly expands the application of layered materials for human-machine interfacing robotics MEMS and active flexible electronics.

Piezoelectric materials come in two major forms; ceramics and polymers. Both are based on the principle of using mechanical strain to generate electricity
