MIT researchers have made a silk fabric that can significantly reduce noise using piezoelectric fibers to counteract or block unwanted sounds.

The amazing properties of graphene are being put to use more and more, as Evan Reed and Mitchell Ong from the Stanford School of Engineering have described a new way of engineering piezoelectrics into graphene. The study was published in the ACS Nano Journal. When you apply a mechanical stress to certain materials, such as […]
