Wurtzite-structured crystals, characterized by their hexagonal symmetry, are widely valued for their unique electronic and ...

Piezoelectric materials have many applications, including sonar technologies and devices that generate and sense ultrasound waves. But for these devices to efficiently generate sonar or ultrasound ...

With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants. [MechPanda] (re)discovered that piezoelectric ceramic materials are not big fans of soldering heat. Still, in the absence of ultrasonic ...

Piezoelectric crystals are a class of materials that exhibit a unique property called piezoelectricity. These crystals generate an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical stress or strain, and ...

Ultrasound imaging is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern medicine. Behind its noninvasive magic lies a ...

A research team led by Dr. Sunghoon Hur of the Electronic and Hybrid Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of ...

Nitrides with a wurtzite structure are widely used in cutting-edge technologies, from blue light-emitting diodes to ...

PENGs use piezoelectric materials, such as zinc oxide nanowires, lead zirconate titanate, or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films. When these materials experience mechanical stress or pressure, their ...

The piezoelectric effect is simple in its rules: Apply mechanical stress to a material and you generate an electric charge. The inverse is also true: Apply a voltage to a material, and it changes ...
