Anem a pams. A l’agost es va publicar a Nature Physics un estudi coliderat per l'Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia @icn2.bsky.social segons el qual el gel té propietats flexoeléctriques. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

El gel salat té molt bones propietats flexoelèctriques (no us espanteu pel titular i tingueu paciència). Això vol dir que quan es doblega o deforma genera electricitat. Pot tenir aplicacions pràctiques importants? Veiem-ho. Foto: Pixnio/Public Domain
