Piezoelectric materials

 

1) Piezoelectric crystals produce a voltage when subjected to mechanical stress. This also works in reverse - an external voltage will cause them to change shape.

2) Can be used to create microphones, vibration or pressure sensors.

3) More information on piezoelectricity can be found at wikipedia.com
