Uses patent-protected manufacturing processes for customized, high-efficiency piezoelectric ceramics. Offers innovative energy harvesting and biosensing technologies for renewable energy, consumer, industrial, homeland security, defense, and biomedical applications. Privately held company with corporate headquarters in New York, NY and a US manufacturing facility. The Piezoelectric Effect Piezoelectric materials have unique atomic structures, which enable them to generate an electric charge when mechanical stress or vibration is applied (Direct Piezoelectric Effect). Conversely, these materials change size or shape when an electric field is applied (Converse Piezoelectric Effect). Piezoelectric materials can be found in nature (such as quartz), or they can be made synthetically (ie PZT). Synthetic piezoelectric materials exceed the properties of the ones that are found in nature.
