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

While most multiferroics can't operate above room temperature, a team of researchers at Tohoku University demonstrated that ...

Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been discovered, paving the way for developing advanced communication ...

The piezoelectric effect arises from the asymmetric arrangement of atoms in certain crystalline materials. When a piezoelectric crystal is subjected to mechanical stress, the deformation of the ...

Multiferroic materials, which have the special ability to connect magnetism and electricity, are now one step closer to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are breaking limits by increasing the temperature multiferroics can operate at, from room temperature up to a blistering 160 degrees Celsius.

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