The title made me think of piezoelectricity which isn't new and has many applications. However, it seems that it's a similar but different phenomenon called "flexoelectricity" which was discovered around 1964. It was also predicted before discovery. Bing Copilot helped me find an article which looks like a good overview of flexoelectricity, although mostly over my head. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1307.0132 "First-principles theory and calculation of flexoelectricity" Jiawang Hong and David Vanderbilt First paragraph: Flexoelectricity (FxE) describes the linear coupling between electric…
