A research team in China has reported a significant piezoelectric effect in ultrathin and ultra-flexible polycrystalline ...

Have you ever wondered if the simple building blocks of life could one day power our wearable electronics? Glycine, the ...

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 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 ...

Piezoelectric materials produce an electrical current when they're subjected to mechanical stress or vibrations. This quality comes in handy (no pun intended) for the sender – as they move their ...

Electronic engineers are no strangers to odd-sounding and difficult-to-pronounce methods and mater ial s . However, the words piezoelectric ceramics still trip up even the most experienced designers.

Stress enhances the properties of a promising material for future technologies, with researchers' discovery of a new exotic state of a promising, room-temperature multiferroic material having exciting ...

To increase the accessibility of piezoelectric transducers and actuators for OEM designers, manufacturers may package these devices inside a protective arrangement of flexures. This approach offers a ...

Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space ...
