Bioprinting is a technology used to create three-dimensional structures, such as human tissues or organs, using bio-inks made ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and at the University of Magdeburg in Germany have developed a ...

Introduction Piezoelectric devices leverage the piezoelectric effect, where certain materials, such as quartz and ceramics, produce an e ...

With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants. [MechPanda] (re)discovered that piezoelectric ceramic materials are not big fans of soldering heat. Still, in the absence of ultrasonic ...

While other piezoelectric materials currently exist, this is one of the few high-performing ones that does not contain lead, making it an excellent candidate for use in machines, infrastructure as ...

Mechanical resonators, tools that vibrate at precise frequencies, have advanced dramatically over time. Now scaled down to ...

The atoms of amorphous solids like glass have no ordered structure; they arrange themselves randomly, like scattered grains ...

Magnetostrictive materials change shape when magnetized, whereas piezoelectric materials produce an electrical current when subjected to mechanical strain. Upon being exposed to an externally ...

Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and at the University of Magdeburg, Germany, made a big leap as they demonstrated a nanomechanical resonator made of tensile-strained aluminum ...
