Emerald copper FTW 💚💎🧡
We can get a #piezoelectricity versus #pyroelectricity battle for the ages! It's * #ELECTRIC * ;P

Pressure or fire, heating things up to get zappadelic, gotta love that.

Better yet:
"As mentioned in the introduction, there is a profound relationship between pyro and piezo sensors: Every pyroelectric crystal is also a piezoelectric crystal (but not vice versa)."
Heating leads to expansion of the crystal lattice, and a measurable electric voltage.

(After the last two days seeing mass vote stuffing tampering attempts, they're auditing preliminary results, so please rope in new folks to vote for this little toxic pyro guy instead! 🍀 Thank you for voting!)

In 1756, Franz Ulrich Theodor Aepinus demonstrated pyroelectricity—tourmaline produces an electric field when heated. #Poetry #Science #History #Pyroelectricity #Aepinus (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1756.html)
