A team of researchers has developed a new material, that when electricity is applied to it, can flex and bend forty times more than other materials in the same class, opening the way to better micro ...

Let’s face it: most of us have trouble getting out of bed. Many times it’s because the alarm isn’t loud enough to rouse us from our viking dreams. [RimstarOrg]’s homeowner’s association won’t let him ...

A BRIEF outline of the history of the crystal filter has been publishad by J. E. Bsnson (A.W.A. Tech, Rev., 5, 191; 1941). The earliest application of piezo-electric crystals to frequency - selective ...

Piezoelectricity is the ability of some materials such as crystals and certain ceramics, to generate an electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress or heat. If the piezo crystals are ...

A team of researchers led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a new material, that when electricity is applied to it, can flex and bend forty times more than ...

“Hey, Cortana.” “Hey, Alexa.” “Hey, Lyra.” “Hey, Robin.” “Hey, Siri.” If you’ve ever owned a quartz watch, received an ultrasound exam in a doctor’s office, or enjoyed a voice-controlled personal ...

If you make crystal radios, you’ve probably got a few crystal earpieces. The name similarity is a bit coincidental. The crystal in a crystal radio was a rectifier (most often, these days, a germanium ...

MUNICH, Germany — Passive component manufacturer Epcos AG has concluded research for a piezo-based transformer that could replace bulky conventional transformers in power supply applications. The ...

Piezo Technology Inc., the Orlando manufacturer of quartz-crystal filters, has completed the transfer of certain technology to a company in China. Piezo officials said the agreement was struck with ...

For the first time, scientists have reported evidence of the piezoelectric effect in liquids. The effect has been known for 143 years and in this time has been observed only in solids. The new finding ...
