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 ...

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

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

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 ...
