Development of piezoelectric materials is limited partly due to the incompleteness of internal mechanism and the lack of vertical piezoelectricity. Herein, we theoretically identify the stable MoTO (T = S, Se, or Te) monolayers and bilayers. When two elements are given but another element can be changed, the larger the electronegativity difference ratio is, the stronger the piezoelectricity will be. Vertical piezoelectric coefficient of the MoTeO bilayer reaches 38.907 pm/V, which is 12 times larger than that of the bulk GaN. The "active asymmetric electron-transfer" strategy mainly contributes to the spontaneous remarkable piezoelectricity of MoTO. Importantly, we proposed the new method for calculating the piezoelectric coefficients of two-dimensional (2D) materials, which corresponds to the fact that 2D materials have a certain thickness. This study not only provides novel extraordinary candidates for energy conversion and touch-sensor nanodevices but also promotes a deeper understanding of piezoelectricity of 2D materials.

Piezoelectric and ultrasonic vibrations have been used to cut tissues for three decades, in particular, in periodontics. The increasing use of piezosurgery is based on its clinical advantages such as selective cutting, precision, and low-temperature work rates. The authors applied this concept to a new operative field, the foot and ankle pathology and surgery, such as hallux valgus corrective distal linear osteotomy.

The primary objective of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of implant site preparation technique (drills vs ultrasonic instrumentation) on the primary stability of short dental implants with two different designs inserted in simulated low-quality cancellous bone. Eighty implant sites were prepared in custom-made solid rigid polyurethane blocks with two different low cancellous bone densities (5 or 15 pounds per cubic foot [PCF]), equally distributed between piezoelectric (Surgysonic Moto, Esacrom, Italy) and conventional drilling techniques. Two short implant systems (Prama and Syra, Sweden & Martina) were tested by inserting 40 fixtures of each system (both 6.

Flexoelectricity, the linear coupling of strain gradient and electric polarization, is inherently a size-dependent phenomenon. The energy storage function for a flexoelectric material depends not only on polarization and strain, but also strain-gradient. Thus, conventional finite-element methods formulated solely on displacement are inadequate to treat flexoelectric solids since gradients raise the order of the governing differential equations.
