A lot of it comes down to special materials called piezoelectrics. Now, imagine being able to 3D print these materials into ...

Rather than delivering large amounts of power, the real significance of piezoelectric technology lies in its ability to ...

While learning about different types of vibration sensors for condition monitoring, I came across a cheap piezoelectric shock/tap/vibration sensor switch module hiding in a corner of my messy ...

Heat and pressure can deteriorate the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible -- and fixing that damage has historically required ...

A group lead by Prof. Yang Liu from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has created a new type of "upgraded" polymer that’s far better at converting movement into electrical signals through ...

A high-speed head positioner in a hard-disk track profiler; a sensitive tip/tilt planarization mechanism for a semiconductor wafer chuck; a dimensionally-stabilized laser cavity; an active ...

Piezoelectricity in native bones has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic ...

A research team led by Dr. Lim Sang-kyu in DGIST's Department of Energy and Environmental Technology has developed a smart fiber sensor that can detect natural disasters such as landslides in real ...
