  • Scientists at IISc have found that by reducing the thickness of the piezoelectric ceramic PZT from 0.7mm to 0.2mm, its ability to deform significantly increases. They also discovered manufacturing defects,

Scientists have discovered straightforward methods to enhance the effectiveness of piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical stress into electrical energy and vice versa. These materials are crucial for applications in sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting. The research, published in the journal *Nature Materials*, focuses on optimizing the internal structure of these materials to improve their piezoelectric properties. Key findings include the use of specific dopants and structural modifications that increase the material's ability to generate electricity from mechanical stress. This advancement could lead to more efficient energy harvesting from vibrations, better performance in medical ultrasound devices, and enhanced sensitivity in various sensor technologies. The study suggests that these simple modifications could significantly broaden the practical applications of piezoelectric materials in everyday technology.
