Piezoelectric Materials require an input of voltage to change shape. In the 1880s, piezoelectricity was discovered through experiments with quartz done by Jacques and Pierre Curie. ... How it works: Piezoelectric materials have two crystalline configurations. One structure is organized, while the other is...
