Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in China have demonstrated a high performance flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) based on a piezoelectrically enhanced nanocomposite micropillar array of BaTiO3 ...

Piezoelectricity is a material’s capacity to transform mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy (polarization) and vice versa. The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, which ...

The latest addition to Murata’s family of piezoelectric ceramic speakers is ultra-thin, just 1.2mm in thickness, with side ventilation in its sturdy metal housing helping to keep the thickness down.

Benefiting the fast expansion of aircraft, geological exploration, and nuclear power generation, there is a largely need for piezoelectric materials capable of performing at high temperature.

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

A 1-op-amp circuit for processing the signal from a piezoelectric accelerometer. Accelerometers are used in instrumentation applications to measure a change in velocity with respect to time or an ...

The vision of Industry 4.0 is already becoming a successful reality in numerous industrial applications nowadays, in sectors such as automobile manufacturing, medical technology, and electrical ...
