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.

“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 ...

Piezoelectricity is a property of certain materials to become electrically polarized under strain and stress. This phenomenon has been studied extensively since it was first discovered in the mid-18 ...

New perovskite-related material could find applications in sensors, wearables, and printed electronics ...

The new single crystals offered here possess exceptional properties and are poised to revolutionize piezoelectric materials applications. In addition to strain levels exceeding 1% (usable strain: 0.5% ...

Piezoelectricity is the ability of some materials such as crystals and certain ceramics, to generate an electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress or heat. If the piezo crystals are ...

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 ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

In this interview, Christian describes how the Photonic Science Laue Crystal Orientation System has helped in the manufacturing process for their high precision piezoelectric sensors based on gallium ...

Piezoelectric motors are increasingly popular for linear motion, but the design of the accompanying drivers is very different from those used by traditional electromagnetic motors. Employing the ...
