Abstract Internet-of-thing (IoT) is an assembly of devices that collect and share data with
other devices and communicate via the internet. This massive network of devices, generates …

Soft materials, such as liquids, polymers, foams, gels, colloids, granular materials, and most
soft biological materials, play an important role in our daily lives. From a mechanical …

Can the mere crumpling of a paper produce electricity? An inhomogeneous strain can
induce electrical response in all dielectrics and not just piezoelectric materials. This …

Flexoelectricity is a universal phenomenon in all dielectrics, which couples electrical
polarizations with strain gradients. However, limited by the size effects, the intensity of the …

Non-uniform deformation of the dielectric subjected to external forces can induce the
flexoelectric effect, a phenomenon that couples electrical polarization to strain gradients …

The development of biodegradable electronics enables environmentally friendly devices for
environmental monitoring and healthcare. An important component of many such systems is …

We utilize atomistic simulations that account for point charges and dipoles to demonstrate
that flexoelectricity, which arises from strain gradients, can be exploited to generate …

Flexible electronic systems such as roll-up displays and wearable devices promise exciting
possibilities that could change the way humans interact with the environment. However, they …

Thin elastic two-dimensional systems under compressive stresses may relieve part of their
stretching energy by developing out-of-plane undulations. We investigate experimentally …

Flexoelectricity is a universal phenomenon present in all dielectrics that couples electrical
polarization to strain gradients and vice-versa. Thus, structures and configurations that …
