In microfluidics, there are “drop on demand” instruments to precisely deposit extremely small volumes (pico- or nano-liters) of fluid. These devices are prohibitively expensive, so [Kyle] set out to ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have produced ultrathin bismuth ferrite (BiFeO₃) films that deliver a fourfold ...

Auburn, MA – PI, a global leader in piezo technology and motion control, offers high-speed actuators for micro- and nano-dispensing applications. Both standard and custom-designed actuators are ...

The piezoelectric effect is an extraordinarily useful and versatile phenomenon which engineers have adapted to countless transducer applications. In some of these, the applied voltage is transformed ...

Measuring 1.5 x 1.5 x 6 mm, the Squiggle SQL-1.5 piezoelectric linear motor is 50% smaller than any other available micromotor. The smaller size�coupled with 10 times the resolution (>100 nm) and ...

Electromagnetic motors and drivers are have been optimized for more than 100 years. They can be found applications from toys to aerospace systems. With all their advantages, there are limitations such ...

A 3D-printed piezoelectric metamaterial uses topology-driven charge transport to locate underwater sound sources from a single compact transducer, replacing bulky hydrophone arrays.

Improvement in the design of medical equipment for better-streamlined functionality and performance is influenced by a number of critical factors. The research, design, modeling, testing, prototyping, ...
