[[Piezoelectricity]] is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. It is derived from the Greek piezo or piezein, which means to squeeze or press, and electric or electron, which means amber, an ancient source of electric charge. | [[Piezoelectricity]] is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, [[DNA]] and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical stress.
