Nanostrain Project Aims to Exploit Commercial Opportunities Arising from Controlled Strain in Nanoscale Piezoelectrics

The more powerful the phone, the higher the demand on the battery. This can result in frequent charging, increasing the inconvenience for users and restricting the performance of the phone. A possible solution could be the development of new transistor materials that use less power, and prolong the battery’s life. One candidate materials is a piezoelectric material, which can change shape or become 'strained' after voltage is applied. This feature can be utilized to develop digital switches, which provide better speeds and low power consumption, along with a reduction in size.
