Public engagement with science is a core facet of the broader ecosystem, in particular research and education sectors. In this article we demarcate benefits dedicated laboratories along practitioner advice pertaining to design running public learning environment. A practicing laboratory one that currently being developed are used as illustrative cases provide real-world insights practitioners.
Biomolecular piezoelectrics, such as amino acids and peptides, exhibit significant shear piezoelectric responses in single crystal form. However, naturally occurring longitudinal piezoelectricity is rare and, when present, dampened due to the multi-directional self-assembly polycrystalline device layers. Here we utilise cocrystallisation engineer a multicomponent crystalline salt hydrate of S(+)Mandelic Acid LLysine, S-Mand•L-Lys•5H2O (1). This material exhibits predicted response d33 = 3.5...
Piezoelectric and ferroelectric technologies are currently dominated by perovskite-based ceramics, not only due to their impressive figures of merit, but versatility in size shape. This allows the dimensions of, for example, lead zirconium titanate potassium sodium niobate, be tailored needs thousands applications across automotive, medical device, consumer electronics industries. In this Letter, we significantly advance performance customization biomolecular crystal (nontoxic, biocompatible...
