Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a potentially fatal condition, yet it's difficult to diagnose with a regular stethoscope. A ...

Piezoelectric sensors leverage voltage generation through mechanical stress in non-centrosymmetric materials, such as quartz and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), while triboelectric sensors operate ...

A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft ...

Infinite Uptime, which offers predictive maintenance solutions for factories, has raised $35 million in a Series C round to expand its footprint in the U.S.

National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan is experimenting with piezoelectric gated thin-film transistors. “Piezotronic force sensors are typically governed by either a strain-induced Schottky barrier ...

She’s fitted a piezo sensor on the bottom of each xylophone key, interfacing it with an Arduino. When a mallet hits a key the corresponding box augments the sound in one of several ways.

The NPS-XY-100A is a piezo scanned flexure guided nanopositioning stage with integrated capacitance position sensors. It is made of Super Invar and is capable of sub-nanometer resolution and ...

Crucially, the team has a complete theoretical model of the substances’ piezo resistivity – its resistance change as it deforms. “Imparting piezoresistive behaviour to 3D-printed cellular materials ...

Equipped with Piezo-Motorized Inertia Drive, the Q-821 is a compact six-axis microrobotics system with a 1 nm sensor resolution. Piezo inertia drives are affordable and space-saving piezo-based drives ...
