Shake, Rattle, and Power On: Electricity from Vibrations Researchers in Japan have applied a lead-free film directly on silicon to convert everyday vibrations into electricity, pointing to a more practical—and less toxic—future for self-powered electronics.

This tech, #piezoelectrics, has been around, but the advance is eliminating the need for lead (Pb).

Now this "energy from vibration" tech can be more widespread.

Dioptase and malachite by Louis Verschuren. From Tsumeb in Namibia. It looks like deep emerald crystals having Forbidden Broccoli growing over the top right side.

Vote #Dioptase the rare #pyroelectric #TeamGreen #DesertEmerald through to go against #tugtupite!

A #piezoelectricity versus #pyroelectricity battle for the ages! It's * #ELECTRIC * ;P

Pressure or fire, heating things up to get zappadelic, gotta love that.

Decoupling piezoelectric and triboelectric signals from PENGs using the fast fourier transform Piezoelectric (PE) devices, including PE nanogenerators (PENGs) and sensors, have been extensively studied for applications that require the transduct…

If you're studying #piezoelectricity you simply can't test like this - you get hugely inflated numbers.

Fortunately we've figured out how to separate #piezoelectric and #triboelectric contributions from complex testing using #FFT. 👀🧪⚡
