Our everyday lives are so riddled with electronics that we hardly notice them anymore. When we casually reach for our ...

Stronger cell phone signals, more accurate sensors and cleaner energy may be achieved by adding a simple step to the industrial fabrication process of certain semiconductor materials, documented in a ...

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 ...

Researchers create a flexible ultrasonic device enabling wireless charging underwater and inside the human body.

Now, the UD-based research team has been awarded a U.S. patent for the use of this innovative material to produce piezoelectric devices. Along with patents already awarded in several other countries, ...

New York, United States , Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Global Piezoelectric Materials Market Size to Grow from USD 1.6 Billion in 2022 to USD 2.2 Billion by 2032, at a Compound Annual ...

1 Materials exhibiting the piezoelectric effect can be natural, such as quartz, or synthetically made, like lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Piezoelectric materials ...

When an electric field is applied to a piezoelectric material, it will deform, a phenomenon known as the converse piezoelectric effect. The change is usually tiny – perhaps one part in a thousan ...

Piezoelectric materials generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. Bone is a piezoelectric material. Because it possesses an electrical microenvironment, electrical ...
