Piezoelectricity: The Future of Energy

BrnFact on Instagram: "“Some rocks don’t just record Earth’s history—they can generate energy. Lithium-bearing minerals like lepidolite and spodumene can release electrical charges when exposed to pressure, friction, or temperature changes. As rocks fracture or rub together, electrons are displaced, creating measurable voltage. This natural phenomenon helps explain electrokinetic effects, piezoelectricity, and even mysterious earthquake lights, revealing the hidden electrical side of geology.”"
