DOI: 10.1063/1.4994760
Abstract: The flexoelectric effect is simply defined as the coupling between the strain gradient and polarization in solid dielectrics. It may be seen as an alternative transduction mechanism to the piezoelectric effect to directly sense the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2208253120
Abstract: The ability of cells to sense and communicate their shape is central to many of their functions. Much is known about how cells generate complex shapes, yet how they sense and respond to geometric cues… read more here.
