Researchers develop world’s thinnest electric generator

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Columbia Engineering have made the first experimental observation of piezoelectricity and the piezotronic effect in an atomically thin material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Shown is a sample of the material that could be the basis for unique electric generator and mechanosensation devices that are optically transparent, very light, and extremely bendable and stretchable.

Piezoelectric Tiles Light the Way for Kennedy Space Center Visitors

Ilan Stern, a GTRI senior research scientist, shows piezoelectric tiles that will be used to create a lighted outdoor footpath at the NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Visitor Complex at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
