piezoelectric
Piezoelectricity is a property exhibited by certain materials in which they generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress or deformation, and conversely, undergo mechanical deformation when subjected to an electric field. This phenomenon was discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie in the late 19th century. The word piezoelectric originates from the Greek word "piezo," meaning to squeeze or press. The effect occurs due to the unique crystal structure of piezoelectric...
