This has implications beyond fundamental science 🥼, it gives us a way to make any plastic surface a #mechanical sensor 🔊.
It also lets us make #triboelectric #nanogenerators , #TENGs , ⚡generate a whole lot more energy from motion.
Simple questions can give beautiful answers! 🔬
Have you ever heard of the Tribo-Energy & Sensing conference?⚡️
@esiee.fr presented #GRAPHERGIA's triboelectric nanogenerators at TE&S'26 last week!
