Engineers at UC San Diego have designed a new chip that could make data centers far more energy efficient by improving how ...

A research team led by Dr. Lim Sang-kyu in DGIST's Department of Energy and Environmental Technology has developed a smart fiber sensor that can detect natural disasters such as landslides in real ...

An origami scaffold uses electrical repair cues and light-triggered heating to promote cartilage formation while limiting ...

Electronic engineers are no strangers to odd-sounding and difficult-to-pronounce methods and mater ial s . However, the words piezoelectric ceramics still trip up even the most experienced designers.

Piezoelectric materials produce an electrical current when they're subjected to mechanical stress or vibrations. This quality comes in handy (no pun intended) for the sender – as they move their ...

Heat and pressure can deteriorate the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible—and fixing that damage has historically required ...

Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space ...
