Experimental setup
Flexible terms: the experimental setup showing the flexoelectret material with negative charges shown in red. The material is deformed by pushing down in the middle and a voltage is measured between the top and bottom surfaces. (Courtesy: Xin Wen et al/Phys. Rev. Lett.)
A soft dielectric material that could create a relatively high voltage when bent has been created by
