Researchers Successfully Create Flexo-Electric Nanomaterial

A novel 'flexo-electric' material that generates electricty upon compression has been developed. The material shows significant advantages over piezoelectric materials as it is non-toxic and generates a higher voltage at the nanoscale. It is hoped that the material will be used in self-charging pacemakers and ultra-sensitive sensors.
