Researchers at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea have developed a highly ...

To overcome these limitations, the team led by Prof. Jang Kyung-In uses lead zirconate titanate, a material with a high piezoelectric efficiency. Though quite efficient, it is hard and brittle, making ...

This made it difficult to harvest enough power from body movements, limiting their use as wearable energy devices. The device developed by Prof. Jang’s team is based on the lead zirconate titanate ...

The device developed by Prof. Jang's team is based on the lead zirconate titanate (PZT), which has a high piezoelectric efficiency. PZT has excellent piezoelectric performance but is hard and ...

This made it difficult to harvest enough power from body movements, limiting their use as wearable energy devices. The device developed by Prof. Jang's team is based on the lead zirconate titanate ...

“A primary consequence of this superior strain sensitivity is that the ferroelectric performance of potassium niobate can be remarkably enhanced even surpassing those of lead titanate or lead ...
