Ultrathin diamond membranes found to generate electricity
Scientists have discovered that ultrathin flexible diamond membranes display a strong and repeatable piezoelectric effect, contradicting the long-held belief that diamond cannot generate electricity through mechanical deformation. The unexpected finding could lead to diamond-powered sensors, miniature energy systems and self-powered medical implants.
