Environmental pollution has been one of the main challenges for sustainable development. Piezoelectric materials can be used as a means of transforming ambient vibrations into electrical energy to power devices. The focus is on an alternative approach to scavenge energy from the environment. This book presents harvesting methodologies to evaluate the potential effectiveness of different techniques and provides an overview of the methods and challenges of harvesting energy using piezoelectric materials.

In this second volume, we examine the role that Einstein’s mass–energy equation played in the development of two important theories in early twentieth century physics: de Broglie’s “matter waves” and general relativity as a theory of gravitation. We also discuss the first empirical confirmation of E = mc2 by Cockcroft and Walton. We investigate the somewhat surprising fact that Cockcroft and Walton’s paper reporting their result makes no mention of either Einstein or his famous equation.

Francisco Fernflores

Fernflores’s treatments of Einstein’s selected papers are well crafted, edifying, and interesting. The two books that comprise Einstein’s Mass-Energy Equation are much enhanced by the addition and analysis of the several classic papers by de Broglie, Lewis and Tolman, and others. Philosopher Fernflores takes up physical and metaphysical issues that are rarely discussed in print. In a scholarly way Fernflores often boldly goes where no one has gone before, and that’s appreciated. The two small books could enrich any college-level course on Special Relativity.
