Sarah Guerin, lead author of paper published in Nature, performing characterisation[/caption]MOSAIC Group researchers have successfully modelled, grown and measured piezoelectric properties in the biomolecule glycine. Piezoelectricity is the generation of an electric charge in a material when stressed or deformed.…
A team of MOSAIC Group scientists have for the first time, discovered piezoelectricity in the globular protein, lysozyme. Lysozyme is a protein which is found in egg whites, tears, and the saliva and milk of mammals. The direct piezoelectric effect…
The Modelling Simulation And Innovative Characterisation (MOSAIC) Group, Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Ireland and European materials Characterisation Council (EMCC) are proud to host the Frontiers in Materials Characterisation towards Industrial Translation (FRIMACHAT) 2017 International Workshop at the Universtiy of Limerick between…
Dr Tofail Syed, MOSAIC Group PI and Senior Lecturer, has launched a new book on Electrically Active Materials for Medical Devices. Stress induced electrical charges, action potential and electret behavior of bone, muscles, skin and nerve cells have been known…
