Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a potentially fatal condition, yet it's difficult to diagnose with a regular stethoscope. A ...

Piezoelectric sensors leverage voltage generation through mechanical stress in non-centrosymmetric materials, such as quartz and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), while triboelectric sensors operate ...

A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft ...

Infinite Uptime, which offers predictive maintenance solutions for factories, has raised $35 million in a Series C round to expand its footprint in the U.S.

National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan is experimenting with piezoelectric gated thin-film transistors. “Piezotronic force sensors are typically governed by either a strain-induced Schottky barrier ...

The hysteresis is less than a nanometer. Ordinary piezoelectric translators are non-linear and exhibit hysteresis and creep. To overcome these deficiencies a position sensor is built into each DPT.

Cochlear implants, tiny electronic devices that can provide a sense of sound to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, have ...

The NPS-XY-100A is a piezo scanned flexure guided nanopositioning stage with integrated capacitance position sensors. It is made of Super Invar and is capable of sub-nanometer resolution and ...
