Study co-led by ICN2 reveals that #ice is a #flexoelectric material meaning it can produce #electricity when unevenly deformed. Published in Nature Physics, this discovery could have major technological implications while also shedding light on natural phenomena such as #lightning. Frozen water is one of the most abundant substances on #Earth. It is found in #glaciers, on #mountain peaks and in #polar ice caps. https://phys.org/news/2025-09-scientists-ice-generates-electricity-bent.html
