00:00A heavy hydraulic press shatters solid steel beams into jagged metal dust.
00:05Tiny bismuth ferrite single crystals warp their atomic lattices
00:10when touched by minuscule electrical charges.
00:12Common Sense says tiny voltage changes produce weak microscopic forces,
00:17but these lead-free crystals defy expectations completely.
00:22Applying a microscopic voltage drives a rapid structural phase transition in the bismuth ferrite,
00:27inducing large strains through domain wall motion.
00:30This dramatic lattice distortion generates immense electromechanical actuation pressure
00:36capable of performing heavy-duty industrial work.
