Piezoelectricity experiment ever done
Updated: 2012-07-30 11:44:12Dear all I am searching an experiment about piezoelectricity. There are plenty of materials about piezoelectricity in internet however none of them contain anything about relationship between eletric field and stress or electrical current and compaction pressure, no graphs, no data. I would like to know does anyone have information about experiment never ever was done on piezoelectricityRegardsElshanLabBook July 27, 2012

On the cartoon version of a neuron, the dendrites are the bad hair day, the tentacles that sprout in every direction from the cell body or soma. Surrounding neurons make their connections onto these projections, releasing neurotransmitters that travel across the synapse to the receiving dendrites where they produce excitation or inhibition. Thousands of these [...]Brain Damage, Therapeutics and the Blood-Brain Barrier
