English translation:piezoelectric quartz
Explanation:
Jacques and Pierre Curie discovered the piezoelectric effect in the late 1800s. In just over 100 years, piezoelectricity moved from being a laboratory curiosity to a big business. During this period, several technologies were developed to use the piezoelectric effect. In turn, each of these technologies has become an essential component of many types of electronic products.

The U.S. piezoelectric industry has undergone several boom and bust cycles. However, in the last five years several applications for piezoelectric materials have emerged. This is a result of the revolution in wireless and wireline communications. Markets have boomed in these areas, especially for piezoelectric crystals. Also, new developments in piezoelectric ceramics and ceramic/polymer composites have led to new applications and markets. However, piezoelectric quartz crystals and crystal devices still comprise the largest market segment and with the boom in the wireless industry, the average market growth rate reached double digits over the last five years.
