piezoelectric
Squeeze-generated current property
Piezoelectric describes materials that generate an electric charge when mechanically stressed, or conversely, change shape when voltage is applied.
Quartz crystals are naturally piezoelectric; this property makes them useful in watches, microphones, and precision instruments.
The piezoelectric sensor detected vibrations in the machinery.
