When it comes to high-precision motion control, the type of motor you choose plays a pivotal role in determining the accuracy ...

Piezoelectric effects have been produced in a number of soft tissues, as well as hard, and appear to be associated with the presence of oriented fibrous proteins such as collagen. Thus ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as ...

Such a structure, consisting essentially of apatite crystals embedded in an organic matrix, might be expected to exhibit piezoelectric properties, as in the case of many other multicrystalline ...

This interconversion between mechanical and electrical energy makes piezoelectric crystals highly useful for various sensing and actuation applications. The piezoelectric effect arises from the ...

Researchers fom South Korea’s Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology have developed an extremely efficient energy harvesting device. This innovative new device turns body movements into ...

Our approach relies on the insight that motion of the actuators causes varying strains on the surface on the piezoelectric material, which via the direct piezoelectric effect, results in a current ...

North America holds a dominant share of the global piezoelectric sensor market, primarily due to the presence of key players ...

The electric spark generated by the piezoelectric effect causes gold atoms to precipitate from the fluids on the quartz surface, forming ideal conditions for further gold accumulation. As the ...
