BURLINGAME Calif., Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Piezo Direct, a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of custom and standard piezoelectric components, has officially launched its new eCommerce platform, ...

Motion and positioning devices play an integral role in the life-science and medical engineering fields, fulfilling their many different requirements. The spectrum extends from simple low-energy drive ...

Piezo sensors that can continuously monitor components as hot as 900°C have been realised by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC. "We have already implemented our sensors ...

Piezo discs have been around since the 1970s, and such cheap (and easy-to-handle) discs are widely used by avid electronic hobbyists and experimenting musicians all over the world. A piezo disk ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...

Throughout the surgical process, the surgeon must have access to a real-time assessment of blood vessels to make evaluations relative to the flow of blood. Piezo transducers are at the heart of ...

This design was done to get a sealed keypad for very wet environments (in my particular case, showers for swimming pools). The keypad needed to be able to detect slight pressure on a stainless steel ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

This unique dual harvesting arrangement, which simultaneously harvests energy from magnetic fields and ultrasound sources, can provide more power than either one alone—at no cost. Why dual-source ...
