About the author

American physicist and electrical engineer Walter Guyton Cady (1874-1974) was on the faculty of Wesleyan University from 1902-46. He was among the pioneering scientists who studied the phenomenon of piezoelectricity. Derived from the Greek term for "to press," piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in some solid materials in response to applied mechanical stress. The piezoelectric effect has innumerable real-world applications in science, engineering, and everyday life.
