A team of researchers from Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, Université Paris-Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette, France and Technische Universität München, Germany has provided a material design strategy for polycrystalline piezoelectrics that could achieve electrostrain values larger than 1%. The breakthrough could result in cheaper and efficient piezoelectric actuators.
Researchers from JNCASR have developed an innovative method to activate thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules, by trapping it with light in a “optical cavity”.
