The advantages of piezoelectric ceramic OCS should not be underestimated. Industry analysis indicates that this technology performs excellently in terms of system loss and switching speed, making it ...

Drums! You hit them, and they vibrate. It’s kind of fun. Piezoelectric elements can create electric current when they vibrate. [Will Dana] put two and two together to try and charge his ...

UD engineers are the lead inventors on a new patent for making piezoelectric devices, such as sensors and actuators, using Nodax®, a biodegradable, bio-based polymer. Every year, more than 400 million ...

Flexible composites-based piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) with low cost, stable properties and sensitivity to mechanical ...

Japanese scientists have developed a piezoelectric-photovoltaic cell with potential applications in indoor environments. They fabricated it on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate film with ...

It sounds like the theoretical impossibility of perpetual motion, but engineers at the University of Michigan have created a pacemaker that is powered by the beating of your heart -- no batteries ...

Piezoelectricity in native bones has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic ...

According to a team of researchers, it turns out that ice is what’s called flexoelectric, which means that it generates electricity ...

Mrs. Melaniephile was cleaning the stove when the piezoelectric starter began periodically clicking/sparking on its own. Rather than the usual rapid-fire sparks of intentionally lighting a burner, it ...

Osteoarthritis – a painful condition that results from the deterioration of the cartilage in our joints – affects millions of people worldwide. This persistent problem has been challenging to address, ...
