Piezoelectric single crystals have emerged as pivotal components in modern sensor and actuator technologies due to their ability to convert mechanical stress into electrical signals and vice versa.

A team of researchers has developed a new material, that when electricity is applied to it, can flex and bend forty times more than other materials in the same class, opening the way to better micro ...

Most high-performance piezoelectrics are ferroelectrics — materials that have a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by the application of an external electric field. At the atomic ...

Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, is predicted to account for most of the matter in ...

Use of an AC rather than a DC electric field can improve the piezoelectric response of a crystal. Now, an international team of researchers say that cycles of AC fields also make the internal crystal ...

A team of researchers led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a new material, that when electricity is applied to it, can flex and bend forty times more than ...

Physicists have proposed turning piezoelectric crystals, the same materials found in quartz watches and microphone pickups, ...

MUNICH, Germany — Passive component manufacturer Epcos AG has concluded research for a piezo-based transformer that could replace bulky conventional transformers in power supply applications. The ...

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 ...

Most touchscreen panels have a limited type of haptic feedback or none at all. This is also true for many types of handheld or wearable devices like watches, touchpads, keyboards, a mouse, etc. The ...
