The exploration of dark matter, which constitutes a substantial portion of the universe's mass, faces challenges due to its non-interactive nature with light. This characteristic complicates traditional detection methods.

Axions are theoretical particles posited as candidates for dark matter. Their detection remains elusive, necessitating innovative approaches to enhance experimental capabilities.

The integration of piezoelectric materials into detection frameworks could provide a new avenue for identifying axions. This method aims to improve the sensitivity and effectiveness of current experimental setups.
