Abstract: A portable piezoelectric antenna array for both very low-frequency (VLF) transmitting and receiving is proposed, based on piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate ceramics with the size of ∼10 ...

Scientists are learning how the brain knows what’s happening throughout the body, and how that process might go awry in some psychiatric disorders. By Carl Zimmer Last year, Ardem Patapoutian got a ...

(A) The structure of the robot. (a) The robot includes the piezoelectric ceramics, metal body, power source, and control system. (b) The arrangement and structure of piezoelectric ceramics. (B) Signal ...

This work represents an important contribution to our understanding of how membrane energetics influence protein conformation and function in mechano-sensitive channels. Through extensive molecular ...

The PI Piezo Component / Transducer Calculator is an online engineering tool designed to help users quickly estimate key performance parameters of piezoelectric ceramic products, for both static and ...

Investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that the protein Piezo1 controls skin growth by detecting when skin is stretched and then coordinating the metabolic and immune changes ...

Japan lives in a cyberpunk-styled future that twines tech in the most mundane of things. You can find robots performing repetitive tasks at restaurants, like peeling a banana or frying chips, while ...

If you’ve ever pushed a sticky elevator button or watched a vending machine fail to register a press, you’ve experienced the limitations of traditional mechanical switches. These common ...

If you’ve ever used an ATM in the rain, operated a medical device with gloves on, or pushed a door release in a public building, you may have already interacted with piezo switches, without even ...
