Piezoelectric crystals are a class of materials that exhibit a unique property called piezoelectricity. These crystals generate an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical stress or strain, and ...

Kumamoto University’s research uncovers real-time dynamics of ferroelectric nanodomains in PMN-PT crystals, paving the way ...

Ultrasound imaging is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern medicine. Behind its noninvasive magic lies a ...

The crystal in a crystal earpiece is a piezoelectric sound transducer. Back in the 1960s, these were fairly common in cheap transistor radios and hearing aids. Their sound fidelity isn’t very ...

The paper, "Electrical De-poling and Re-poling of Relaxor-PbTiO 3 Piezoelectric Single Crystals without Heat Treatment," is published in Nature Communications. Piezoelectric materials have many ...
