💡 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 Series: Wonder how #lightnings form?

🧊 @GustauCatalan & Dr Xin Wen reveal that bending #ice can generate electricity through #flexoelectricity, a property of some materials that could explain lightning in storms!

▶️ Curious? More in the video!

📢 Sortim a TV3!  

En un estudi liderat per Gustau Catalán i Xin Wen s'ha vist que el #gel amb #sal augmenta fins a 1000 vegades la seva capacitat de generar #electricitat en doblegar-se.

@Akitti Great idea. We have another paper later this year showing that doping salt into ice enhances the flexoelectricity by three orders of magnitude.

📃 NEW PAPER OUT

🤔 Can #salt make ice more flexible?

🧊 Dr @VincentXjtu & Prof. @GustauCatalan found that salt boosts ice's electricity when unevenly bent.
🚀 This could lead to innovative low-cost #sensors

@Rainmaker1973 This is how you bend an ice slab.

📢 NEW PAPER OUT❗

🧊 The study reveals that ice is a flexoelectric material, meaning it can produce electricity when unevenly deformed.

So, the E-MRS spring meeting in Strasbourg is over. It's been great every day, but my personal top spot has to be Umair Saeed (soon Dr Saeed) receiving his Young Researcher Award.
Reseach highlights are good for the ego, but student successes are

It turns out that polar topologies also exist in non-polar materials...
