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

Researchers are making fresh progress in piezoelectric generation, a technology that converts mechanical movement such as pressure, vibration, ...

“Hey, Cortana.” “Hey, Alexa.” “Hey, Lyra.” “Hey, Robin.” “Hey, Siri.” If you’ve ever owned a quartz watch, received an ultrasound exam in a doctor’s office, or enjoyed a voice-controlled personal ...

Scientists have been focusing on the application of high dielectric constant capacitors, buzzers, sensors, ultrasonic motors, actuators, piezoelectric sonar, ultrasonic transducers, medical diagnostic ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...

Magnetic effects in piezoelectric beam dynamics represent a nuanced interaction where magnetic fields, generated either internally by the beam’s own current or externally via applied fields, influence ...

Piezoelectricity is a material’s capacity to transform mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy (polarization) and vice versa. The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, which ...

The increasing miniaturization and sophistication of electronic products, ranging from consumer media devices to medical diagnostic tools to defense-related sonar applications, presents a bounty of ...
