This week's column will be about the piezoelectric effect. I mean, what else could it be? See, I have been under tremendous pressure to write a column on the effect of squeezing crystalline structures ...

Magnetic effects in piezoelectric beam dynamics represent a nuanced interaction where magnetic fields, generated either internally by the beam’s own current or externally via applied fields, influence ...

Schematic of a fully rollable transparent nanogenerator based on piezoelectric zinc oxide nanorods sandwiched in between graphene sheets. (Image: Prof. Kim, Sungkyunkwan University) The piezoelectric ...

The effect: polarisation and electric field are pointing in the same direction. With positive d33, the sample expands, whereas the material is contracting when d33 is negative. Since 2011, it has been ...

Researchers are making fresh progress in piezoelectric generation, a technology that converts mechanical movement such as pressure, vibration, ...

A lot of it comes down to special materials called piezoelectrics. Now, imagine being able to 3D print these materials into ...

Lightweight and compact precision piezo actuators and grippers from PI USA provide high speed and nanometer resolution in a small package. Auburn, MA – The piezoelectric effect directly converts ...

The piezoelectric effect is an extraordinarily useful and versatile phenomenon which engineers have adapted to countless transducer applications. In some of these, the applied voltage is transformed ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...
