English to Russian Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng power generator implant

John Rogers and his colleagues at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign exploited the piezoelectric effect, in which crystal lattices in some compounds generate an electric current when flexed or compressed.

The team manufactured nanoribbons of a piezoelectric material called lead zirconate titanate and deposited them on a flexible silicone base that could conform to the shape of a moving organ. These were connected to a rechargeable battery and implanted on the heart, lungs and diaphragms of the animals.
