Piezoelectric single crystals have emerged as pivotal components in modern sensor and actuator technologies due to their ability to convert mechanical stress into electrical signals and vice versa.

Piezoelectric materials, particularly single crystals and engineered solid solutions, play a pivotal role in modern sensing and actuation technologies. Their inherent ability to convert mechanical ...

A team of researchers led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a new material, that when electricity is applied to it, can flex and bend forty times more than ...

As we continue to carry around items that insist on requiring electricity to work, portable—even wearable—energy-generating systems are looking very attractive. A group of researchers has recently ...

Stanford scientists found that strontium titanate improves its performance when frozen to near absolute zero, showing ...

Within a framework of the state space method, an axisymmetric solution for functionally graded one-dimensional hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal circular plate is presented in this paper. Applying ...
