Derik Queen gave the Maryland Terrapins men’s basketball program something to cheer about on Sunday night when his buzzer-beating bank shot won their March Madness game against the Colorado ...

There are probably even more important piezoelectric effects, but we don’t yet fully understand them. Many body parts, such as bones, are piezoelectric, and it is thought they use this to grow.

It turns out that quartz is the only abundant mineral that's piezoelectric, meaning that it generates a charge when it's placed under strain. While you don't need to understand why that's the case ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that allows the restoration of piezoelectric materials used in ultrasound and sonar technologies at room temperature, simplifying repairs and enabling ...

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent ...

Increasing power density and reducing the size of inductors and transformers at small volumes and high frequencies is a big challenge in the design of DC-DC converters. To circumvent such difficulties ...
