Piezoelectric crystals are a class of materials that exhibit a unique property called piezoelectricity. These crystals generate an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical stress or strain, and ...

More than one of our readers suggested we highlight this beautifully-shot process documentary about the laborious and precise manufacturing of piezoelectric quartz crystals in the early 1940s.

Such a structure, consisting essentially of apatite crystals embedded in an organic matrix, might be expected to exhibit piezoelectric properties, as in the case of many other multicrystalline ...

a type of crystal). The crystal in a crystal earpiece is a piezoelectric sound transducer. Back in the 1960s, these were fairly common in cheap transistor radios and hearing aids. Their sound ...
