Direct evidence of the piezoelectric effect of lysozyme in monoclinic and tetragonal aggregate films of lysozyme has now been captured by researchers. The sufficiently high piezoelectric coefficient ...

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 ...

Here’s some advice from an oscilloscope expert: Don’t hit your oscilloscope while making measurements (and preferably not ever). It seems like this should go without saying, right? But in late March, ...

Piezoelectric materials are applicable in the biomedical field, and if they can be biocompatible and degradable, it will be a big step towards real applications. Recently, a research team at City ...

The researchers from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS (IOCB Prague), Institute of Physics of the CAS (IP CAS) and Palacký University Olomouc say that their work ...

The piezoelectric effect is simple in its rules: Apply mechanical stress to a material and you generate an electric charge. The inverse is also true: Apply a voltage to a material, and it changes ...

“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 ...
