In today's concrete jungle, pavement takes up a lot of space, so we might as well cram some smarts in there. Previously we've seen ground coverings that light up, absorb solar energy, generate ...

Piezoelectric elements, which possess the inherent property of generating a voltage when pressure is applied, are incorporated into a wide variety of electronic devices, from conventional inkjet ...

Piezoelectric materials produce an electrical current when they're subjected to mechanical stress or vibrations. This quality comes in handy (no pun intended) for the sender – as they move their ...

These small and strong materials offer a wide frequency range, suiting a variety of applications and specific design needs without sacrificing performance. Electronic engineers are no strangers to odd ...

Murphy’s Law predicts that it takes the first 99% of your time budget to finish the first 99% of a job and the second 99% to get it completed. The history of piezoelectric motors can serve as a good ...

Rohm has established a process for MEMS utilising thin-film piezoelectric elements, and implemented a foundry business that integrates product design and manufacturing processes, from wafer pulling to ...

There’s no doubting the wonders that micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology have brought to the world. With MEMS chips, your phone can detect the slightest movement, turning it into a ...

Inside each tile are the piezoelectric elements—thin discs of lead zirconate titanate—along with several solar cells and a lithium battery for storing power generated during the day. Researchers at ...

ROHM has recently established a process for MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) using thin-film piezoelectric elements, and implemented a foundry business that is said to be the first based on the ...
